Orange County Department of Social Services held a reception on September 13th to welcome Jeff McNeill, the new Orange County Veterans Services Officer. 

The Veterans Services Office (VSO) assists veterans, spouses, and dependents in obtaining, retaining, or reinstating: 

  • Burial
  • Compensation
  • Education
  • Insurance
  • Loans
  • Medical Services
  • Pensions
  • Training
  • Other applicable benefits and services

“I am here to help veterans, their spouses, and their dependents to understand the benefits that they deserve. In my experience, they may not be aware of everything they are entitled to, so my job is to make sure they have the information they need to submit claims and connect to vital services,” said McNeill.

To connect with the Veterans Services Office (VSO) you may reach Jeff McNeill by phone at 919-245-2890 or by email at jmcneill@orangecountync.gov.
