Waukesha County Veterans Services and the Veterans Service Commission

Waukesha County Veterans Services is at 514 Riverview Avenue, Waukesha WI 53188, phone (262) 548-7732, email [email protected], open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by appointment - there are no walk-ins. The CVSO is Jeremy Johns, with Deb Tynan as assistant CVSO and Patty McHugh and Justin Urbano as benefit specialists. The county's 2027 budget puts the veterans services levy at $492,311 and counts the office's 2025 workload at 4,021 calls, 1,325 compensation claims and 3,155 document submissions, returning, by the county's own arithmetic, "$680 of benefits returned for each tax levy dollar expended". The commission. A three-member Veterans Service Commission, appointed by the County Executive with board confirmation, "authorizes and provides financial assistance to needy veterans" - the aid framework of sections 45.81 and 45.86, reaching spouses, surviving spouses, minor and dependent children and parents. It met once in the year read, March 20, 2026, at the HHS building, with its next meeting listed as TBD. No application form or dollar schedule is published; a veteran starts at the office. The property tax credit under 71.07(6e) is verified through the CVSO. The register of deeds records discharges free under section 45.05, though no county page says so - the ROD phone is (262) 548-7585. The county parks offer a "Senior and Disabled Veteran Membership - Discounted Rate" on annual park memberships, expiring each December 31; the dollar amount sits behind the county's reservation portal and could not be read. No veterans treatment court serves Waukesha County - the court system's statewide list omits it - and the district attorney's site lists only OWI and drug treatment courts. The nearest veterans courts are Dane County's and Milwaukee County's.
