Williams County Veterans Service Commission and Office, 1425 E High Street, Bryan

The commission's words. "The Williams County Veterans Service Commission will work to assure that veterans and their dependents receive the federal, state, and county benefits they deserve for their service and sacrifice to our Nations Armed Forces and that all work is provided in a timely manner and with dignity, honor and respect." "Each county in the state of Ohio is required to establish a Veterans Service Commission (VSC) under the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code, Title 59. This law has been in existence since 1886. The Commission oversees the operation of the Veterans Service Office." "Since 1946, the commission has employed County Veterans Service Officers who assist in applying for any federal, state or county benefit to which a veteran or his/her surviving spouse is entitled. In addition to the basic services outlined, the Veterans Service Office also works closely with various other agencies, both in the county and elsewhere, to ensure that eligible clients receive all of the benefits and services to which they are entitled." The commission. "The commission shall be composed of five residents of the county appointed to five-year terms by a judge of the court of common please." Each member is an honorably discharged veteran and takes the Ohio Department of Veterans Services' annual training; the members represent the VFW, AMVETS, the American Legion, the DAV and an at-large seat. Money for emergencies. Ohio commissions give financial assistance to veterans and their families in need (Revised Code 5901.15; the Ohio entries). The office's FAQ lists "I need help with payment of my rent, utilities and food, is there anything your office can do?", but its answers sit behind a path the site's robots file closes, so ask the office what it pays and on what terms. The Ohio Benefits page points to the State's Military Injury Relief Fund and War Orphan Scholarship.
