A Wyoming Veterans Service Officer from the Wyoming Veterans Commission is conducting walk-in community outreach services for veterans next month.
Vicki Richards is available to meet with Carbon County veterans and their families to discuss state and federal veterans’ benefits, Department of Veterans Affairs claims or VA healthcare. Richards can also help veterans and their families apply for benefits, file claims or request healthcare.
Megan Hoffman, of the Wyoming Military Department’s Public Affairs Office, said the meetings are free and open to all veterans of all ages.
“Vicki will be available to meet for any veteran questions or to discuss things like claims, benefits and VA healthcare,” she said. “People can also meet with her if they need to file disability claims. Vicki will meet with whomever shows up between the meeting times, and for however long is needed. All veterans and their families are welcome to show up.”
Richards will be in Saratoga from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Dec. 4 and 18, at the Platte Valley Community Center, 210 W. Elm St. in Saratoga. For those in the Platte Valley who cannot make those times and dates, Richards will also be in Rawlins from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 3 and 17, at the Rawlins VA Clinic, 1809 E. Daley St. in Rawlins.
During periods of inclement weather, please check with the staff at the outreach locations to ensure the veterans service officer will be available. Please contact her at 307-214-2112 for more information, or to schedule an appointment at any of the above locations.
