As part of a New Jersey General Assembly statewide effort to assist New Jersey veterans with the services that they have earned and deserve, Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker (D-Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex and Somerset) will host a claims clinic for these service women and men on Wednesday, May 1 from 3-7 pm at the Somerville YMCA, 2 Green St, Somerville, NJ 08876.
“Veterans have made tremendous sacrifices in order to defend our country and ensure our freedoms,” said Zwicker. “It’s only fitting that we provide them with the resources and support that they were not only promised, but deserve for their service to our country.”
During the clinic, veterans will be able to file new claims, review the status of open claims, and discuss veteran-related issues with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) staff who will be onsite.
“It is my privilege to do all I can to serve these courageous men and women and their families. We have an obligation to help them navigate the complex benefits system so that they receive the benefits they’ve earned,” he said. “Bringing the VA into the community allows our local veterans convenient and direct access to those important resources and benefits.”
