Currently, the Veterans Agency operates a daily van service to the VA in Albany, with pickup stops in Ghent, Chatham, Philmont, Claverack, Hudson, Greenport, Columbiaville, and Valatie. Veterans interested in using this service are advised to call 24 hours in advance. The van returns following the last appointment of the day.

One of the most important things any service person can do upon separation from service is to file their DD Form 214 with the county clerk. This is the form needed before any benefits can be obtained.
