The Carroll County Veterans Services Program provides
guidance and assistance to Carroll County Veterans,
their dependents and survivors with applying for
Federal and State bene昀椀ts. This assistance includes help
with application for Veteran’s bene昀椀ts via the system
administered by the State of Maryland and the United
States Department of Veterans A昀昀airs. In order to make
the application process more seamless and because
every Veteran’s situation is unique, the program
provides assistance with preparation and processing
of various required forms that assist Veterans with
navigating a system that can be overwhelming. The
program also provides case management services to
Veterans seeking assistance with connecting to other
community programs and services.
Services Provided:
• Collaborate with the United States Department of
Veteran A昀昀airs, Maryland Department of Veterans
A昀昀airs and Veterans Service Organizations in
securing bene昀椀ts for Veterans.
