Beaufort County Veterans Affairs to Host Benefits Delivery at Discharge Workshops

BEAUFORT, SC – On June 10, Beaufort County Veterans Affairs is set to host a series of workshops aimed at laying out the path for benefits delivery at discharge for veterans ready to exit the military. This crucial initiative aims to ensure a smooth transition for servicemen and women as they reintegrate into civilian life.

Workshops Schedule and Locations

The workshops will be free to attend for all active duty service members with a known separation date within the next 91-189 days and who are available to attend VA exams 45 days from the submission date. The schedule of the workshops is as follows:

• Tuesday, June 11, from 0900 to 1600 at the Four Winds Club, MCRD Parris Island
• Wednesday, June 12, from 0900 to 1600 at MCAS Beaufort, Building 807, Classroom 24

Preparation for the Workshops

Participants will need to request an electronic copy of their Service Treatment Record (STR) from their branch clinic. In addition, they should bring pertinent personal documents. These include marriage certificates, children’s social security numbers, and birth certificates. A comprehensive flyer with additional information and a QR code for convenience has been shared for interested participants.

Objectives of the Workshops

The workshops are a part of a broader effort by the Beaufort County Veterans Affairs to ensure veterans are educated about the benefits available to them upon discharge. The transparent and comprehensive sessions are designed to empower veterans with the information they need to plan for their life post-military.

Transitioning out of military service can be a challenging and overwhelming period. The provision of timely information about available benefits can drastically improve the quality of life for veterans and ease their transition into civilian life.

Further Information

Veterans and servicemen and women who are interested in attending the workshops or those who wish to get more details about the event can contact the Beaufort County Veterans Affairs directly. The organization can provide further clarification regarding the required documentation and the benefits that will be discussed during the workshops.

Military service members, their families, and the community at large are urged to share this information with anyone who might benefit from these workshops. This is a lucrative opportunity for service members to learn about the range of benefits they are eligible for during their transition process out of the military.
