PA VETConnect Help Finding Veterans Resources in Pennsylvania
PA VETConnect, run by the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA), works out what veterans and their beneficiaries need, finds resources that meet those needs, and connects veterans with those resources. The DMVA has staff living and working in communities across the commonwealth doing this work on a daily basis, for Pennsylvania's nearly 700,000 veterans.
It is for veterans and their beneficiaries in Pennsylvania. The DMVA describes the thousands of resources available to eligible veterans no matter what county you live in, what branch you served in, or what your military rank was while in uniform, so Berks County veterans are included.
From PA VETConnect you can reach several related services: PA Navigate to find resources in your community, locators for state veterans' resources and federal veterans' resources, applying for state veterans' home residency, joining the Pennsylvania Veterans Registry, submitting a military records request, finding an accredited Veterans Services Officer, contacting your county office of veterans affairs, contacting a regional program outreach coordinator, visiting the Lickdale Veterans' Outreach Center, requesting a veterans' mobile outreach team, searching statewide veterans' events, and learning about Military Awards for Valor.
For general questions, the DMVA lists a toll free number, 800-547-2838, and 717-861-8910, along with an email address, RA-VA-Info@pa.gov, and a contact form on the department's contact page. The mailing address is PA Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Bldg. 0-47, Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville, PA 17003-5002. The PA VETConnect page prints the toll free number as 800-547-2938, so if one number does not connect, try the other.
The department does not describe an application form, an intake process, office hours or any cost for PA VETConnect, so ask when you contact the office.
