Who it's for
The Union County Commission of Veteran Affairs is the county veterans office. The office helps veterans apply for benefits such as VA medical care, compensation and pension, the Iowa Veterans Home, military records, grave markers and home loans. Eligible veterans with financial hardships may apply for temporary emergency assistance. Visit the office at 300 N. Pine St., Suite 130, Creston, or call 641-782-1723.
The VA and the Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs decide federal and state benefits. County help is for emergency needs, follows the county's own income guidelines, and depends on the commission's budget; the commission decides each request.
