VFW Service Officer Available to Help Veterans at Senator Baker’s Hawley Office

(HAWLEY) - State Senator Lisa Baker (R-20) has invited veterans to schedule an appointment to meet with a VFW Service Officer at her Hawley office location. Appointments with a Service Officer are available at no charge on the first Thursday of every month.

Baker encourages veterans of all ages and from all service eras to utilize the Pennsylvania Veterans of Foreign Wars Service Officer Network, to receive free information and assistance for government benefits. This assistance may include VA healthcare, compensation, pension, education and dependent benefits. Surviving spouses can also use these Service Officers at no charge to learn about their eligibility for VA benefits.

“Thanks to the sacrifices of our veterans and their families, we are able to enjoy everyday freedoms that continue to make our country a unique beacon of hope across the world,” Senator Baker said. “During challenging economic times, many veterans continue to need our assistance. This is true now more than ever. I encourage any veteran or spouse with questions regarding benefits, to schedule a time to meet with a Service Officer.”

On Thursday, May 5, the VFW Service Officer will be available for scheduled appointments at Senator Baker’s office, 2512 Route 6, Hawley. All veterans, not just VFW members, can request appointments between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. To schedule an appointment at this location please call (570) 226-5960.
