The Montgomery County Commission on Veterans Affairs was established by County legislation in 2008 with the goal of the Commission to provide advice to the Executive and Council on the status of programs and services related to the needs of Veterans. Please note that the Commission on Veterans Affairs is not affiliated with the VA. We cannot process claims or help you apply for benefits. Contact the Maryland Department of Affairs for those services: 240-567-5405 / 1-800-446-4926.
