Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker is partnering with the Department of Veterans Affairs to organize a Thursday claims clinic for local veterans.
“Veterans and their families have made so many sacrifices for our nation,” said Zwicker (D-Hunterdon/Mercer/Middlesex/Somerset). “We have an obligation to help them navigate the complex benefits system so that they receive the benefits they’ve earned.”
The Veterans Claims Clinic will be held on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Hunterdon County Library, located at 314 NJ-12, Flemington, NJ 08822. Check-in will begin at 9:15 a.m., and light refreshments will be served from 9:15 a.m. to 10 a.m.
The clinic will allow veterans and their dependents to learn about benefits and entitlements, submit a claim for benefits or check the status of a pending VA claim. Lillie Nuble, director of the VA’s Newark office, will be available to assist individuals with their VA benefits claims.
“It is my privilege to do all I can to serve these courageous men and women and their families,” said Zwicker. “This forum will provide veterans in our area with a personalized, one-on-one consultation about their benefits claims in a convenient location.”
Interested parties may contact Joe Forte of Assemblyman Zwicker’s office at 732-713-3716 or asmzwicker@njleg.org with questions or concerns.
