Since the beginning, serving the needs of local veterans has been the focus of the department. With the support of local veterans, veterans organizations, and the Plumas County Board of Supervisors, this office has continually acted as the veterans advocate and has maintained a vital role in ensuring the receipt of veterans benefits.

- Veterans
- Widows or widowers of veterans
- Children of deceased or disabled veterans
- Parents who lost a son or daughter in military service
