Veteran's Service Office Staff

The Juneau County Veterans Service Office and its staff act as an advocate for a variety of veterans benefits available to veterans, and their families. The staff takes great care and compassion to insure that  each client is treated with dignity and respect. We guarantee that each client receives the fullest measure of our ability to serve them as a veteran, or their
dependent. We provide a link to state and federal veteran's agencies and assist our customers in obtaining the listed benefits for which they are eligible. The Service Officer may also travel to Nursing and Rehabilitative Facilities.

The County Veterans Service Office in Juneau, as well as all other counties in the state, is mandated by the Wisconsin 
State Statute 45.43. The office is funded in part by an operating grant from the
Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, with the remainder of funding received
from the Juneau County property tax levy.
