Show M ROD Gomino To Douis Bob Ramos, Veterans Affairs Af-fairs Representative for the State of Utah, will be visiting Layton and Farmington once a week to offer assistance to veterans and veteran's widows with benefits they might be entitled to. MR. RAMOS will be located at the Job Service Center, 195 East Gentile Street, in Layton from 9 a.m. to 12 a.m. every Tuesday and at the Farming-ton Farming-ton Job Service Center, 37 North Main Street, Farming-ton Farming-ton every Thursday from 1 :30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Some of the services Mr. Ramos will offer are assistance assis-tance in completing veterans forms, assistance in filing of disability compensation or pension claims, and to answer questions in general about veterans benefits. WHEN MAKING your visits to Mr. Ramos be sure and bring with you a copy of your discharge, better known to veterans as a DD Form 214. If you don't have a copy Mr. Ramos will be able to get you another one. Obtaining another copy of a discharge normally takes about two weeks. Mr. Ramos reminds veterans and widows "that it's very, very important to keep this document in a safe place because it records all your military service which in turn determines benefits due you by law." He added that "it's the first thing asked for when visiting the various veterans agencies unless the agency has previously recorded it and has it on file". MR. RAMOS invites all veterans and veterans widows in the various communities surrounding Layton and Farmington Far-mington to come in and visit with him and discuss these benefits. "My experience in this business has been that too often the general public are unaware of these benefits due them by law and the only way they are going to find out if they are eligible for these benefits or not is come in and check to see if they meet the requirements. This is where I come in. This is my job. Mr. Ramos said. If you are unable to come in call him and he will try to answer your questions over the phone. The number in Layton is 376-1274. In Farmington Far-mington it's 292-4451. |
