Walworth County, WICounty

Walworth County's Veterans Service Office is at 1910 County Road NN, Elkhorn WI 53121, mailing P.O. Box 1005, phone (262) 741-4222, fax 262-741-4386, email [email protected], open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a 12-to-12:30 lunch close. The CVSO is John Scholtz, with specialists Amy Kagabitang and Gavin Reshkus; services carry no fees. The commission and the aid. The Veterans Service Commission (Gibbons chair, Cobb, Gajewski to December 31, 2029; Scholtz executive secretary) meets in the HHS Center Alpine Room with "Update on Financial Aid provided since last meeting" on every agenda. Its June 17, 2026 minutes quantify the half-year: $28,673.63 of assistance - $9,600 in gas cards, $17,117.50 in grave-care reimbursements, flag holders and case-by-case utility help - against $1,856,160.03 in federal VA benefits won the same half-year. The county's 2027 veterans service levy drops 10.6 percent to $374,283 with an $80,000 veteran memorial capital project in the five-year plan. The county's other veteran work is unusual: a Revolutionary and Civil War veteran biography presentation opens nearly every 2026 board meeting, and a GIS database of documented veteran graves went live on Veterans Day 2025. The code's veteran provisions are the sheriff's-deputy hiring preference (15-189), military-funeral leave (15-709) and military leave benefits (15-743). The register of deeds, 100 W. Walworth Street, Room 102, (262) 741-4233, records discharges free under section 45.05, though no county page says so. Walworth is served by the Second Judicial District veterans treatment court, whose hearings are in Racine - see the county's veterans treatment court entry.
