WINNEMUCCA - The Nevada Office of Veterans Services (NOVS) Veterans Outreach "ROVER" program will visit Winnemucca on May 9 so veterans and family members will be able to meet with a veterans service officer to learn about benefits and services they may be eligible for but unaware of.
"We continue to ask local businesses, city officials and anyone willing to help us spread the word, to post a flier at their location or download and email the flier to their personal network," said Executive Deputy Director Kat Miller.
To download; go to the NOVS ROVER page at http://www.veterans.nv.gov/rover.html to find the ROVER schedule and scroll down to the date of the event.
The location is the Pleasant Senior Center at 1480 Lay St. from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Veterans and family members can make an appointment to meet with a Veterans Service Officer to discuss their benefits and pre-scheduled appointments are suggested. Walk-in appointments are welcome but can only be seen as time permits.
"Appointments at some recent locations have filled up prior to the date," said Program Coordinator Scott Fincher. "With help from the community, the word has been getting out and we really encourage veterans or family members to consider making an appointment in advance."
To schedule an advanced appointment, contact Pamela at (775) 688-1653 ext. 6 or Barbara at (775) 321-4880. Veterans are advised to bring a copy of their DD-214 discharge document and/or current VA paperwork.
If the claim involves their dependents, veterans should bring marriage and/or birth certificates as well as social security numbers of their dependents.
The ROVER program is funded by donations to the Veterans Gift Account that is supported by the Nevada Veterans License Plate Program.
