The outreach program at the Utah Department of Veterans & Military Affairs strives to provide quality consulting and representation for Veterans as they navigate the various benefits available to them. To best serve Veterans where they live, our VA-accredited Veterans Service Officers (VSO) are divided among four regions: Northern Utah, Salt Lake Metro, Central Utah, and Southern Utah. The department also participates in events throughout these regions with informational booths and other outreach activities to better reach Veterans. You can reach out to our regional VSOs to ask questions, get assistance with a claim, or schedule an in-person or virtual appointment.
