In an effort to provide convenient access to state services, Rep. Sandra Major (R-Susquehanna/Wayne) has announced her monthly satellite office and veterans assistance hours for the month of January.

“As we begin a new year, I encourage people who may not be familiar with all the government services available to them through my offices to stop by and find out,” said Major. “In addition to my two full-time offices in Montrose and Honesdale, I also offer a monthly satellite office on the second Thursday of each month in northern Wayne County. This enables folks in that portion of the district to have more convenient access to state services. No appointments are needed; just stop by.”

On Thursday, Jan. 14, at the Preston Township Building on Crosstown Highway (Route 370) in Lakewood the satellite office will be open from 10 a.m. to noon and include many services.

In addition to the state services her offices provide, Major has also teamed up with the American Legion to provide assistance to veterans seeking information on VA benefits and services. This service is available in her Honesdale district office on the second Monday of each month. The next scheduled appointment day is Monday, Jan. 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The office is located at 32 Commercial St., Suite 300, in Honesdale. Anyone interested in speaking with the department service officer should call the office at (570) 253-5533 to schedule an appointment.

Some of the services available to veterans and their dependents during these special hours include assistance with compensation, pension, death benefits, education and health care, as well as any issues pertaining to veterans benefits. An individual requesting service does not need to be a member of the American Legion.

Major’s full-time office in Montrose, Susquehanna County, is located at 16501 S.R. 706, Suite 2. The phone number is (570) 278-3374 or toll free at 1-800-418-5048. She can also be contacted via her website at RepMajor.com, email at SMajor@pahousegop.com or on Facebook at Facebook.com/RepMajor.
