• Assists veterans and dependents in the office, and the offices of other public and private agencies, in the preparation and follow-up of applications for local, state, and federal benefits and/or assistance. 
• Communicates with members of the VACAC and representatives of other local, state, and national agencies to determine status or explain circumstances for assistance. 
• Establish, prepare, and maintain all work records and continued follows up on all case files.
