The office's own site (read through the Internet Archive's May 30, 2024 capture, later captures being the site's Incapsula challenge page): "Wayne County Veterans Service Commission" at "356 W. North St. lower-level, Wooster, OH 44691. Phone: 330-345-6638. Toll Free: 800-335-6638. Fax: 330-345-6945. Hours of operation: Weekdays from 8:30am to 4:30pm. * To better serve you, appointments are required." The site's sections name the office's own pages: About Us, Our Staff, Veterans Service Commissioners, DVA Benefits, Financial Assistance, Transportation, DVA Medical Center Locations, DVA News, ID Cards, Military History, and JFS - Veterans Workforce Services. The Department of Veterans Services' CVSO directory (read 2026-10-20) carries the same office: "Wayne County Veterans Service Office, 356 W. North St., Lower Level, Wooster, OH 44691, 1 (330) 345-6638, fax 1 (330) 345-6945, [email protected]". The county's own site's Veterans department link points to that directory. The Board's year. The commissioners' session books - every one of the 55 in the October 2025 to October 2026 window read whole (scans, OCR) - fund the office in the 2026 appropriations: "SOLDIER'S RELIEF AND VETERANS SERVICES" carries the Soldier's Relief fund (relief allowances $220,000; salaries and the official's salary; total $710,700) and the Veterans Services department (salaries - employees $419,600; salary - official $46,500). Through the year the Board moved money inside the funds: $1,000 from Soldier's Relief Other Expenses to Workers Comp (November 5, 2025); $5,000 in the Veterans fund to Contract Services/Utilities (July 22, 2026); and, on August 5, 2026, $15,000 "to transfer appropriations to cover an increase in hours worked by drivers for Veteran medical transportation", from Transfers (Veterans) to Salaries - Employees - the county pays the drivers who take Wayne County veterans to VA medical appointments. Every session book also carries the standing Then & Now certificates list approving Veterans Services for processing by the Auditor, and the county's 2026 holiday schedule closes for Veterans Day.
