Veterans Services

Welcome to Veterans Services

Pasco County is home to over 54,000 veterans and their families. Clients have served in all branches of the military from World War II to the present global war on terrorism.

Pasco County Division of Veterans Services is a County agency created to assist the County's former, present and future members of the United States Armed Forces, their dependents and survivors.

As advocates for veterans, the Division's team of state accredited service officers know the extent, meaning and application of the laws passed by the U.S. Congress and the Florida Legislature, regarding veterans' benefits.

The team provides direct assistance when claims for benefits earned by military service, need to be completed and submitted to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Our team will apply specialized knowledge in the way best suited to the needs of each veteran and his or her beneficiaries.
