About the Shasta County Veterans Service Office

The Shasta County VSO is the first stop for assisting veterans across Shasta County. We offer a wide array of services of comprehensive benefits counseling on claims preparation and submission, initiate and develop appeals when appropriate, and networking and advocacy with federal, state, and local agencies.

We have accredited counselors with information and provide service for VA health care information, Post 9-11 GI Bill, and Cal Vet home loans/VA home loans. Our counselors work extremely hard with assistance offered in filing for compensation (service-related injury or disease), re-open compensation claim for increase or reevaluation, and non-service connected pension (war era veterans only).

We assist in survivor benefits, burial benefits, ordering and certification of DD-214, vocational rehabilitation (serviced connected), College Fee Waiver (service connected), clothing allowance, special housing grant or auto grant (service connected), certification of DMV driver’s license application forms, request for military records and decorations, discharge upgrade and correction of military records, disability life insurance and waiver of premiums, payment of proceeds of VA life insurance, and assist veterans and their survivors for placement in long-term care facility (Aid and Attendance).

Our department services over 9,000 active clients annually, some of which are destitute and need assistance with transportation to get to work, medical appointments, school, and many other much needed services.
