How Do I?

How can I get to the VA Hospital?

Answer:
Scott County has a small bus with a wheelchair lift that goes to the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. See our transportation policy.

Upon discharge from the service, do I need to record my discharge?

Answer:
Yes, bring the original Copy #1 and the Copy #4 of the DD214 to the Veterans Service Office, we will have it recorded at the Scott County Recorders Office and give your original right back to the veteran. Discharge documents are not considered public record in the State of Minnesota. We will, also, start a benefits file for the veteran in our office.

Question:
What services does the Veterans Office provide to veterans?

We can answer most of your questions regarding the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the VA Medical Center (VAMC) or the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA). We can assist you in filling out VA Forms, contacting the VA, VAMC, and the MDVA.

Should I call first for an appointment instead of just dropping by the Veterans Service Office?

Yes, it is best if you call for an appointment prior to visiting the office, that way we are sure to be available when you come in.
