Warren County Veterans who take advantage of programs provided by Warren County Veterans Affairs will not lose services due to the shutdown of the federal government.

Jerry White with Warren County Veterans Affairs tells KNIA News the VA is funded through the shutdown.

“I’m a county employee here, and the VA is not affected by the shutdown as the federal VA was fully funded before the shutdown occurred and is fully functional right now.”

White also said that finding out what the benefits provided by the VA are is a complicated process, and that any veteran who has any questions should contact Warren County Veterans Affairs.
