Veteran’s Advocate to be in Grangeville March 19

GRANGEVILLE -- The Idaho division of veteran services will have a Veteran’s Advocate in Grangeville on Tuesday, March 19. At this time, he will be available to veterans and their dependents for the purpose of answering questions about veteran benefits, assist with ongoing claims, and take new claims for filing with the Veterans Administration.

This outreach will be held at the Idaho Department of Labor, located at 305 N. State Street, Grangeville, between the hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (breaking for lunch at noon).

Veterans in need of these services should schedule an appointment (no later than March 15) by calling the Idaho Division of Veteran Services (Lewiston Region) at 799-5084. Due to the volume of veterans needing assistance, walk-ins without appointments, will only be seen as time allows. Feel free to contact the above office prior to your visit, to see if there are any remaining openings.
