Sean will be available via Zoom to assist veterans with filing for benefits and disputing denied claims. Veterans familiar with Zoom can do so from home. Additionally, we provide a private room at the senior center and a staff member or volunteer to operate Zoom for those needing computer assistance. All staff and volunteers adhere to HIPPAA Confidentiality Policies, ensuring your private information and claim remain secure.
