Veterans and Servicemembers
Veterans benefits
If you're a veteran who needs assistance, you can apply for special benefits. Your county's Veterans Service Office (VSO) can help you access these federal and state programs.
The federal government and the state of Ohio offer special benefits for veterans. Every county has a Veterans Service Office (VSO) that can help you understand and apply for:
Federal and state benefits
- Disability compensation
- Pension
- Healthcare
- Education
- Home loans
- Burial and survivor benefits
- Ohio veterans bonus
- Employment
Local benefits
Individual counties offer different levels of cash and transportation assistance based on their available resources. Contact your county VSO to find out what is available in your area.
Benefits appeals
If your application for veterans benefits was denied, but you don't think it should have been, you can contact your local legal aid for help.
