Little Rock VA Regional Office to Host Virtual Claims Clinic for Arkansas Veterans

Veterans in Arkansas will have the opportunity to receive personalized assistance during the Little Rock VA Regional Office’s monthly Virtual Claims Clinic. The clinic is scheduled for Thursday, January 23, from 4 to 6 p.m.

This event allows Veterans to speak one-on-one with VA staff about specific questions regarding claims for benefits. Those interested in participating are encouraged to reserve a time slot by calling 501-370-3829 before close of business on Wednesday, January 22.

Expanding Access for Rural and Urban Veterans

“In addition to Little Rock and the surrounding areas, it is our pledge to serve the diverse population in the rural areas of Arkansas,” said Public Affairs Officer Jay Mergenschroer. “We are working to connect with these Veterans along with those unable to reach us by other means.”

The Little Rock VA Regional Office, located at 2200 Fort Roots Drive in North Little Rock, is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For further assistance, the Veteran Assist Phone Line is available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 501-370-3829.
