​​​​​​​Mobile Veterans Service Officer (VSO) Outreach Team​

The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) is committed to making benefits more accessible to the state's almost 700,000 veterans and their eligible family members. One way the agency can meet and assist veterans in the communities they live at is through its Mobile Veterans Service Officer (VSO) Outreach Teams.

The Mobile VSO Outreach Teams travel throughout the state to assist veterans in obtaining information and initiating benefit claim paperwork through the assistance of DMVA accredited veteran service officers.

There are a wide range of federal, state and county benefits available to qualified veterans and their families and DMVA's accredited veteran service officer outreach team can be an excellent source of information and assistance. Such benefits might include service-connected disability compensation, pensions, VA health care benefits, burial benefits, education benefits, vocational rehabilitation, active service bonuses, state nursing home care, and much more.

DMVA's outreach staff also coordinates each event with County Directors of Veterans Affairs​​, veteran service organizations and local and state officials to maximize publicity and attendance.

In order to request a van for your event, please complete the Mobile VSO Outreach Team Request Form​  ​​​​​(PDF) and submit it six months but not less than 45 days prior to your event using the email, fax number or address listed on this page.
