Forum set on VA benefits

The Sheboygan County Council of the American Legion will host a workshop on V.A. benefits Saturday, April 9, from 9-11 a.m. at Ladewig- Zinkgraf Post 243, 40 Stafford St. Plymouth.

This workshop is open to all veterans in Sheboygan County.

For veterans wondering if they qualify for benefits, the first step is to enroll in the V.A. health care system.

To help veterans enroll Todd Richter, the assistant veterans service officer for Sheboygan County, will give a presentation to make sure that 1010EZ applications are filled out correctly. To complete the application veterans should bring their 2014 1040 taxes, spouse’s social security number and their DD 214 form.

Anyone with questions should contact: DuWayne Wieck, Sheboygan County commander, at Dwieckbike@gmail.com.
