The Sonoma County Veterans Service Office is a unit of the County of Sonoma, Human Services Department, Adult and Aging Services Division. The county Veterans Service Office program was established in Sonoma County in 1944 to provide assistance to veterans and their families. We are not part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (“The VA”). We are a county agency dedicated to serving veterans and their families. We are knowledgeable about the huge array of programs, benefits and services that are available today.
I am proud to be a member of a dedicated team of professionals. Mark, Lauralyn and I stand ready to provide Veteran benefit information, claims assistance and referral to other pertinent community services to veterans and their families. We see clients by appointment on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; we see clients on a first come first served basis on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00AM to 4:00PM.
Unfortunately, many Veterans and their dependants are unaware of the services and benefits to which they are entitled. In fact, often a veteran will visit our office for assistance with one issue and discover during an in-depth interview that there are other issues and potential benefits to be addressed. Our goal is to ensure that every Sonoma County Veteran we serve receives, or is at least made aware of benefits they are eligible for based on their service to our nation. I have immense regard for our country’s Veterans, and I pledge the support of myself and the other members of the Sonoma County Veterans Service Office to serving those who served.
