Veterans Benefits Symposium to be held Thursday
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — Various veteran's organizations will be attending the second Veterans Aging and Survivor Benefits Symposium, Thursday, at Western Region One Source. The Department of Veterans Affairs, The One Source, Mesa County's Veterans Service Office and the Area Agency on Aging, along with the Rifle Veterans Assisted Living Home will be in attendance. 'It's a free event. We are not doing an RSVP. It's a first-come, first-serve situation,' says Mesa County Veterans Service Officer Anthony Lee. It's an event to help veterans understand the resources and benefits available to them. Outreach coordinator for VA Western Colorado Healthcare System Braydon Gear says if you choose to attend, you need to bring several documents. 'It's always good to bring DD214's. That is the service members exiting paperwork. It pretty much shows when they served, when they served, where they served, campaigns they were a part of. (A lot of paperwork is needed) to prove eligibility for veteran's services.' If you are not enrolled in veteran's services, particularly VA health care, you can call the health care hotline number at 877-222-8387 or go to the fourth floor at the VA hospital for enrollment eligibility. Officials say to make sure to take your DD214 form. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
