State Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R- 134th, has announced veterans assistance appointments are now available on the second Friday of each month, in his district office at the Lower Macungie Township Administration Building, 3402 Brookside Road.

Veterans or their dependents can schedule an in-person meeting with a service officer from the American Legion to discuss issues and have questions answered about benefits and services for which they may be eligible.

Services available to veterans and their dependents include assistance with compensation, pension, death benefits, education, and health care. Veterans do not need to be a member of the American Legion to receive these free services.

Anyone interested in scheduling an appointment with a service officer should call Mackenzie’s office at 610-965-9933.

Appointments are necessary and space is limited.
