The Genesee County Department of Veterans Services is confused with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which functions at the federal level. Our department is governed by the Genesee County Board of Commissioners at the county level. Our employees are county employees who function as advocates for veterans and their families, assisting with navigating the VA systems, filing claims, and accessing benefits, while also providing referrals to other community resources . Our services continue despite any cuts at the VA. Please continue to make appointments with us and contacting our office for information on assisting veterans in Genesee County .
