How To Apply For Veteran Benefits In Hood County?

Veterans and their families may be entitled to a range of benefit programs offered by the VA, including financial assistance for home care services. To apply for veteran benefits in Hood County, veterans must have a copy of their DD 214 or Record of Separation/Discharge from the Military. This document is very important to have as it verifies the veteran's Character of Service, such as Honorable or General Discharge, as well as validates their time in the military. To safeguard this important record, we recommend filing the original copy of your DD-214 with the Hood County Clerk's Office. This makes sure you can easily obtain a certified copy if the original you have is ever lost.

If you do not have a copy of your DD 214, you can request one online or complete Standard Form 180 and submit it to the National Archives in St. Louis to obtain a copy.
