The Rhode Island Veterans Affairs Office offers benefit counseling including a variety
of social services to Rhode Island armed forces personnel, veterans, and their dependents
who are seeking assistance.
This office processes all applications for admissions to the RI Veterans Home and will
conduct home visits, if needed, for those veterans applying for admission. Other services
handled by this office include casework, counseling, referral, budget management, and
completion of claims (i.e. pensions, compensations, social security).
The Veterans Affairs Office also provides information needed for the admission team at
the Rhode Island Veterans Home to assign the proper level of nursing care to the veterans
it serves. In addition, staff at the Veterans Affairs Office work with all state veteran
services organizations to assist veterans with their requests for services.
