Expected Results

Administrative Services provides management and strategic direction to ensure that agency priorities align with statewide priorities. It ensures quality policy options, program design, and performance tracking. As a result, DVA's customer focused work environment builds capacity, fosters leadership, and bolsters credibility.

A003 - Veterans Disability Services and Support

The Veterans Disability and Claims Support program delivers critical services to the state's vulnerable veteran population living in both urban and rural areas. This network provides advocacy services and representation to ensure that veterans and their family members are able to understand and navigate the complicated federal system. The role of the federal Veterans' Administration is to adjudicate; it does not provide community claims support. DVA operates a statewide network that includes 34 contracted professional licensed war trauma counselors and 100 contracted service officers to provide disability claims services.
