County veterans service officer reports steady second-quarter caseload, more paperwork for Vietnam-era clients
Summary
Brad delivered the second-quarter report (April–June), saying overall caseloads are steady compared with previous years, with more Vietnam-era veterans seeking help and increased paperwork; he proposed a revised report format to show year-over-year comparisons.
Brad presented the veterans service second-quarter report for April through June and told the commissioners the numbers were “pretty much on point as the previous quarter” and similar to past second quarters.
Brad said the office has seen an uptick in paperwork associated with veterans visiting the office and an increase in Vietnam-era veterans seeking assistance. He noted recent state training sessions his staff attended in Fargo and Bismarck and said he plans to change the quarterly report format at the end of the year to include comparisons with previous years to give the board better trend visibility.
Brad said he conducts home visits when possible and that staffing and workload limit how often those occur. Commissioners praised the outreach efforts; no board action followed the report.
