§ 7723. Veterans assistance offices

How Current is This?
(a) The Secretary shall establish and maintain veterans assistance offices at such places throughout the United States and its territories and possessions, and in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, as the Secretary determines to be necessary to carry out the purposes of this subchapter. The Secretary may maintain such offices on such military installations located elsewhere as the Secretary, after consultation with the Secretary of Defense and taking into account recommendations, if any, of the Secretary of Labor, determines to be necessary to carry out such purposes. In establishing and maintaining such offices, the Secretary shall give due regard to—
(1) the geographical distribution of veterans recently discharged or released from active military, naval, or air service;
(2) the special needs of educationally disadvantaged veterans (including their need for accessibility of outreach services); and
(3) the necessity of providing appropriate outreach services in less populated areas.
(b) The Secretary shall establish and carry out all possible programs and services, including special telephone facilities, as may be necessary to make the outreach services provided for under this subchapter as widely available as possible.
