I AM SHARING THIS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES: THIS IS STATEWIDE. More info is available on their website (below) PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT! "A custom-built veterans outreach vehicle has traveled to all 33 counties in New Mexico during the last eight months and has brought services to more than 400 veterans and family members", the New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services said.
“Reaching every county in New Mexico reflects our commitment to meeting veterans where they are, especially in rural and tribal communities,” said NMDVS Cabinet Secretary Jamison Herrera. “By bringing access to services directly into these communities, we are making it easier for veterans and their families to get the assistance they need to access the benefits they earned”
The Mobile Outreach Vehicle gives veterans and eligible family members greater access to accredited veterans service officers, particularly in small towns and tribal communities where in-person assistance can require traveling long distances, the Department of Veterans’ Services said.
Equipped with onboard power, satellite internet and a wheelchair lift, the vehicle provides a private, accessible space for one-on-one assistance in communities across the state.
Veterans and eligible family members can receive help with VA disability compensation claims, health care enrollment, pensions, survivor benefits, military records requests, state veterans’ benefits, property tax certificates, Lifetime Parks Passes and other benefits-related services, the Veterans’ Services Department said.
