ABOUT
VETERANS' SERVICES
The Department of Veterans Services is a
state mandated service, which provides services
to the veteran's, veteran's spouses and
their dependents. Its authority is derived
from chapter 115 of the General Laws of
the Commonwealth.
The Veteran's Officer for
the City of Everett is appointed by the Mayor.
The Department is supervised by the Office
of the Commissioner of Veterans Services and
in part by the state for all funds expended
Assistance is also rendered
in the matter of pension, financial need,
filing claims with the Veterans affairs or
Social Security, education benefits, home
loans, hospitalization and medical care, as
well as the time of death of a veteran.
The office requests that all
veterans who serviced during a wartime period
file a copy of their discharge and DD214 with
the Veterans Officer.
Additionally, the office is
open to any veteran or service personnel who
wished to talk about any matter pertaining
to his or her well being. Visitation will
be made to those veterans or veteran spouses
unable to visit the office.
