Veterans services report: 19 closed cases, VA to appoint legal reps for claims
Summary
Veterans Services Officer Brandon Enck told the Marquette County DHS board that staff closed 19 cases, are working roughly 95 open cases, and that the VA will now appoint legal representation for veterans filing claims; supervisors asked for monthly new-case reporting.
Mary Walters, chair of the Marquette County Department of Human Services board, opened the meeting and the board heard a veterans-services update from Veterans Services Officer Brandon Enck.
Enck reported the office had closed 19 cases since the last meeting and was managing about 95 active cases. He said four veterans served by the office have died since the prior report. Enck noted upcoming outreach events, including Youth in Government Day on April 21 and a veterans conference April 27–May 4, and said the VA will now appoint legal representation to assist veterans filing claims.
Supervisor Chuck Bornhoeft asked staff to produce monthly reports showing how many new cases are added each month; the request was made during voucher review and tracking discussion. No specific timeline for that reporting was recorded.
The board did not take formal action on veterans services at the April 6 meeting; the item was an informational report.
