Veterans Service Officer (VSO) Brown reported that the Veterans Services Office would not be available for walk-ins on Tuesdays throughout June due to mandatory training for Veterans Service Representatives (VSRs). To accommodate the training, South Lake Tahoe services are being moved to Thursdays for the month of June. Brown also reported that he will be out of the office on June 19th and 20th to attend additional training for VSOs in Sacramento. Next, Brown reported that the California Association of County Veterans Service Officers (CACVSO) is working on proposed legislation, HR-3132, aimed at limiting the influence of for-profit “claim shark” representatives who may take advantage of veterans filing claims. Next, Brown reported that for the month of May, the Veterans Services Office recorded 124 walk-in visitors, 74 scheduled appointments, and 257 phone calls. Lastly, Brown reported that VSR II Tisha Holy has resumed in-person services in South Lake Tahoe on the second and third Tuesday of each month.
