Centre County Veterans' Affairs

The Centre County Veterans Affairs Office assists Veterans and eligible dependents in applying for federal, state and county benefits. We advocate for Veterans and assist with all aspects of applying for benefits. Additionally, we may refer Veterans and dependents to other federal, state, county agencies and organizations that might further assist them in solving their problems or answering their questions.

Please use the following links to the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs Web Site to find out more information about potential federal programs:

• Compensation
• Pension
• Health Care
• VA's Dental Insurance Program (VADIP)
• Insurance
• Education
• Special Housing Grants
• Automobile Grants
• Home Loans

While we will make every effort to assist walk-ins, we strongly recommend that you call for an appointment to ensure a Veteran Service Officer is available to talk with you and/or avoid a long wait.

If you have further questions or want to schedule an appointment please contact us at 814-355-6812.

  Please provide these dates to all veterans with whom you are in contact.  All individuals disabled due to injuries as a result of military service or suffering with PTSD related emotional issues are eligible and welcome to attend the retreats. Our goal is to fill all cabins with veterans and their immediate families on the above mentioned weekends and provide relaxation and fellowship with other veterans while at the camp. Much is offered at Beacon Lodge - fishing, wheelchair accessible swimming pool, zip line, miniature golf and more on the mostly wooded 583 acres.
