A national professional association with a directory for finding county and other local veterans service officers.
Organization And Scope
The National Association of County Veterans Service Officers, or NACVSO, supports the training and education of county, city, tribal, and state veterans service officers. It is a national professional association, while much of the assistance its members provide takes place through local government offices. Its official website offers a service-officer directory that includes a county or parish filter as well as city, state, and postal-code searches.
Getting In Touch
That directory is useful when you want a county-based starting point. The OGC organization export used in this guide contains representative city and ZIP information but no county field, so a city match here should not be treated as proof of county coverage. Check the local office’s own information for its service area, appointment process, and any residency requirements.
Checking Representation
Contact the office you find and explain the federal or state benefit question you need help with. Ask whether the person handling your VA matter is currently accredited and which organization they represent. OGC abbreviates this organization’s name as Natl Assoc’n of County Veterans Service Officers. The association’s directory helps locate people; it does not by itself appoint a representative or confirm an office has accepted your case.

Confirm The Person And The Appointment
Recognition of an organization does not replace checking the individual representative. Confirm current accreditation, the organization's appointment instructions and whether it can assist with the requested matter. This is a factual directory profile, not a recommendation or paid placement.
