Veterans' Assistance

I am proud to represent the many veterans, service members, military spouses, and Gold Star families who call the Seventh Congressional District their home. It has been an honor to meet many of these brave and patriotic Americans and New Jersey residents. As part of my efforts to provide support and assistance to veterans, service members, and their families, I have created this short guide to federal, state, and community-based programs. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office if you need any additional information or if you need assistance with your government benefits. Submit your casework request HERE.
