WILDWOOD – Continuing his commitment to South Jersey veterans, U.S. Representative Frank A. LoBiondo (NJ-02) detailed his plans to hold the next enrollment clinic in Wildwood to help local veterans in determining their eligibility and, if eligible, facilitate their participation in the VA healthcare system. The Wildwood enrollment clinic will be held Dec. 10.
“Over the past few years in partnership with the VA, we’ve expanded community-based services available locally for South Jersey veterans. But those efforts are not over and too many eligible veterans, particularly those returning from service abroad, are not aware of healthcare and assistance available to them,” said LoBiondo. “I remain committed to our veterans and will continue to host these clinics while working to expand local access to healthcare services.”
LoBiondo has long advocated for greater local healthcare services and continues to work with VA officials in Wilmington and Philadelphia and local veterans groups to bring additional services to South Jersey’s four VA community-based clinics (Vineland, Northfield, Cape May, Sewell).
As at previous enrollment clinics, there will be representatives from the VA Medical Centers and Benefits offices on hand to answer veterans’ questions and explain eligibility requirements. Veterans who plan to attend are asked to bring their DD-214.
Details of the Veterans Enrollment Clinic Dec. 10 are as follows:
Cape May County
American Legion Post 184
4200 Atlantic Avenue, Wildwood
10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.
Veterans can also determine their eligibility, enroll in the VA system, and ask additional questions by calling 1-877-222-VETS or visiting the website www.va.gov.
This will be the 12th enrollment clinic hosted by LoBiondo, with previous sessions in Vineland, Bridgeton, Cape May Court House, Somers Point, Elmer, and Northfield. For additional information, veterans are encouraged to call LoBiondo’s Mays Landing Office at 609-625-5008 or 1-800-471-4450 or visit LoBiondo’s website: http://lobiondo.house.gov/resources/veterans
