National Service Officers
One of AMVETS most visible support services is our network of trained national service officers (NSO’s). NSO’s are accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs and funded by the AMVETS National Service Foundation. These dedicated men and women can be found in almost all states. NSO’s offer free advice and prompt action on compensation claims to veterans. Recently AMVETS national service officers processed more than 74,000 claims/year.
