State Sen. Lisa Baker, R-20, invites veterans to schedule an appointment to meet with a VFW Service Officer at her Dallas office on Aug. 14. Appointments with a Service Officer are available at no charge on the second Friday of every month.<\/p>\n
In a news release her office issued last week, Baker encouraged veterans of all ages and from all service eras to utilize the Pennsylvania Veterans of Foreign Wars Service Officer Network, to receive free information and assistance for government benefits.<\/p>\n
This assistance may include VA healthcare, compensation, pension, education and dependent benefits. Surviving spouses can also use these Service Officers at no charge to learn about their eligibility for VA benefits.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Aug. 14, the VFW Service Officer will be available for scheduled appointments at Baker\u2019s office, 22 Dallas Shopping Center, Memorial Highway, Dallas. All veterans, not just VFW members, can request appointments between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. To schedule an appointment at this location, call (570) 675-3931.<\/p>\n
\u201cVeterans are the heart and soul of America and we appreciate their many sacrifices to make this nation a beacon of freedom and hope,\u201d Baker said, in a statement. \u201cDuring challenging economic times, many veterans continue to need our assistance. I encourage any veteran or spouse with questions regarding benefits, to schedule a time to meet with a Service Officer.\u201d<\/p>\n
