The Cape May County Veterans’ Bureau was established shortly after World War II by the Cape May County Board of Chosen Freeholders to aid and assist veterans, widows and their families. The Bureau works to provide services to countywide veterans to eliminate the need to travel long distances to obtain veterans’ benefits, program information and assistance.
The Bureau can assist in applying for the following benefits:
- Burial Allowances
- Compensation
- Correction/Review of Military Records
- Educational Benefits
- Fare Free Transportation
- Government Life Insurance
- Grave Markers
- Lost Discharges/DD Form 214/Request for Military Service Medals
- Non-Service Connected Pension
- Veteran Photo ID Cards
- VA Healthcare
If you wish to apply for any of these benefits, visit the Veterans’ Bureau at 4005 Rt. 9 S., Rio Grande, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call (609) 886-2762 or visit capemaycountynj.gov/563/Veterans-BureauCemetery.
