Services
The Veterans Assistance Commission of Cook County (VACCC) provides emergency financial assistance, claims and benefits advocacy, and partner referral services to eligible Veterans, service members, survivors, and their families. Emergency Financial Services (EFS) may include assistance with rent or mortgage payments, utilities, food, transportation, hygiene items, and burial or cremation expenses. Depending on the type of assistance requested, eligible Veterans may qualify for services once every six months or once per year. Accredited Veterans Service Officers (VSOs) provide free assistance with VA disability compensation, pension, survivor benefits, appeals, and other Veteran benefits programs. VACCC also connects Veterans with trusted federal, state, local, and nonprofit resources for housing, employment, legal assistance, healthcare, mental health services, education benefits, and additional community support programs throughout Cook County.
