Veterans Specialists to Visit Gibbons’ Office Next Week

State Rep. Jaret Gibbons today announced he will host two veterans specialists in his Ellwood City office next week.

“I am happy to provide this service so veterans can understand their rights and benefits,” said Gibbons, D-Beaver/Butler/Lawrence.

Stephanie Bengoa and Ryan Paglia will participate in the event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 11 to lend help to veterans and their families.

Bengoa of the American Legion Veterans Assistance Program will be in Gibbons’ office to assist veterans with understanding what benefits they have earned, filing appeals to existing claims, enrolling in the Veterans Administration health care system and any other question regarding benefits.

Paglia is from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry’s Bureau of Workforce Partnership and Operations. Paglia develops job and training opportunities for veterans with a special emphasis on veterans with service-connected disabilities.
