HARLINGEN, Texas – Veterans and their families gathered at the Harlingen Convention Center for a Cameron County summit that offered help with benefits claims and information about available resources.
The event brought veterans together with organizations and accredited service officers who could answer questions about the claims process and benefits available to veterans and their dependents.
Cameron County Precinct 4 Commissioner Gus Ruiz said the summit included about 70 vendors and 15 accredited veteran service officers. Veterans and families from across the Rio Grande Valley were invited to attend.
For participants, the gathering provided an opportunity to ask questions in person about services and the steps involved in filing a claim. Veterans who need ongoing assistance can contact a qualified veterans service officer or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
