The Veterans' Service Agency provides assistance
to County veterans and their families with the benefits that they may
be entitled to through the Veterans' Administration. Service areas include
pensions, compensation, benefits, tax exemptions, employment, VA home
loans, and much more.
Transportation Services: Transportation
is provided for Ulster County veterans to and from the Albany VA Hospital
on a daily basis. Round-trip transportation from Ellenville to Kingston
to catch the Albany van is available on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Ambulette services are available to wheelchair veterans traveling to
the Albany or Castle Point VA Hospitals and the Kingston VA Outpatient
Clinic. Reservations are required for all transportation.
Ulster County Veteran’s Cemetery: Ulster County has a Veterans Cemetery in partnership with the New Paltz Rural Cemetery on 81 Plains Road in New Paltz. Generally, any honorably discharged veteran who is a resident of Ulster County at time of death is eligible for a plot upon request of next of kin. There is no charge for the burial plot itself, but marker footings and other expenses would apply. All local funeral directors are aware of the procedures for veteran plots, or you may contact this Agency for more information and details concerning eligibility.
