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. The Commission oversees the operation of the Veterans Service Office. The VSC hires necessary staff to oversee the day to day operation of the office. Since 1946, the commission has employed County Veterans Service Officers who assist in applying fo
r any federal, state or county benefit to which a veteran, his/her surviving spouse or dependent children are entitled. In addition to the basic services outlined here, 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 have earned.
