Veterans Service Office

 

 

Welcome to the Tehama County Veterans Service Office Website

 

Our main office is located at 444 Oak St. Room C in Red Bluff.  Our phone number is (530) 529-3664 and our fax number is (530) 529-3659.   We are always happy to see you and welcome you to stop by. 

 

In Red Bluff our office is open Monday through Friday from 9-5, closed for lunch from 12-1.  Please call to schedule an appointment, or you may walk in if you only need a Tehama County ID card issued.   In order to verify that you are a Veteran, please bring your DD214, unless we have it on file. 

We have Outreach offices at the following locations:

In Corning:  every Tuesday from 9-11 at the Veterans Memorial Hall: 1620 Solano St. Walk-ins are welcome!

In Los Molinos:  the first and third Mondays of the month from 9-11 at the Government Center:  7883 Highway 99E.  Walk-ins are welcome! 

 

Good to know:

TRAX offers free lifetime bus rides to all Tehama County Veterans!  Veterans can obtain a Tehama County ID card at our office, which can be used as their Veteran ID to ride TRAX.    Please bring your DD214 to verify that you are a veteran, unless we have it on file.  

For Veterans that are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless, they can stop by our Red Bluff office on Wednesdays from 9-12 and see Larry Dozier, Case Manager with the Veterans Resource Center (VRC).  No appointment is needed.  Larry will need to verify Veteran status with a DD214.  If Veterans need to request a DD214, that can be done at the Red Bluff office.  It can take several weeks or longer to receive the DD214 from the National Personnel Records Center. 

If you would like to find out about enrolling in VA healthcare or discuss service-connected illnesses or injuries, please call the Red Bluff office and schedule an appointment.

Feel free to stop by our office anytime to pick up resource information or if you have questions about Veteran's benefits.  We have flyers for food giveaways, employment, resume workshop information, transportation to doctors appointments, 24 hour crisis counseling, aid for caregivers and much more.  

The CalVet website is a great resource and has links to every aspect of Veterans' benefits. It is also recommended that Veterans create an account on ebenefits. 

If you want the "Veteran" designation on your driver's license, call our Red Bluff office to set a time to come in and obtain the VSD-001 form that the DMV requires.
