Veterans Assistance Commission reports active caseload and outreach in monthly update
The committee received an emailed report from Mike Brooks of the Veterans Assistance Commission summarizing service activity.

The emailed report listed multiple statistics: figures described as "new money" and "total money," counts of veterans receiving benefits ("4,040 vets re getting benefits from our office"), 141 "new vets receiving compensation that weren't before," 1,995 active claims waiting on decision, 722 appeals waiting on decision and "2,717 total active claims." The email also reported walk-in service counts: 553 veterans in September and 522 in October. Brooks' staff attended Veterans Day events and Goodwill Stand Down, and conducted VA compensation classes, according to the emailed summary read into the record.

The report was read by the chair and presented for information; no committee action was recorded.
