The VA's lobby is open to the public Monday - Thursday (normal operating hours) and closed on Friday for administrative purposes. We continue to process claims, provide emergency relief and answer inquiries. At this time, we are not scheduling sit-down appointments in our inter-offices. Clients are instructed on what documentation is needed to file a claim for benefits and/or relief and they deliver the information to us in-person or scan/email or fax or send the information through the postal system. We even provide curbside service, if requested. We will conduct a telephone interview when completing the forms for benefits/relief and inform the client when everything is ready for their review and signature. If client’s needs to drop-off documentation on a Friday, they can push it under the door for us to find.
