Veterans' Affairs

Residents of Lackawanna County are appreciative of the service of their veterans, for without them we would not have our freedom.

In an effort to show our gratitude, the government of Lackawanna County has formed a Veterans' Affairs Office whose sole responsibility is to offer services and benefits for Lackawanna County veterans and their families.

Here are some of the needs we can assist with: Death Benefits, Pension Benefits, Veteran Disability Pension, Homeless Veterans, Veterans Representative, Business Development, Tax Exemption, Aid & Assistance, Government Headstone or Marker, Government Life Insurance, Burials, Military Families Family Relief Program and many more.
