Veteran Records

Finding a Veteran's Records

Our office can assist Veterans with locating their discharge papers or military records. When requesting assistance, please make sure you have the following: 

• The Veteran's name, DoB, and SSN 

• The Veteran's branch of service and (approximate) dates of service.  

If you are acting on behalf of a veteran, or if the veteran has passed, we will need to see proof confirming this before any information or documents can be handed over.  

 

Adding Dependants/Change in Circumstances

If you are a Veteran receiving a monthly check from the Federal VA, then you need to ensure that you update your records so you are getting the right amount each month. To add a dependent, complete a VA 21-686c at the Pottawattamie County Veterans Service Office, or submit the form using EBenefits online.
