Some web sites and governmental offices are informing citizens to “call the courthouse” to inquire about veterans benefits.

This is a false referral. The county clerk does not maintain an office, telelphone hotline, office space, appointment schedule, or intake site for veterans benefits.

The common services veterans request are handled by the following agencies:

Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs
1707 North 12th Quincy, IL 62301

217-222-8641 ext. 253

Information on most veterans’ benefits is available from the Department.

Hancock County Veterans Assistance Commission
c/o Robert Hubbard
100 Parkway Drive
Carthage, IL 62321

217-617-7635

The Veteran's Assistance Commission functions similar to General Assistance. It is for low income veterans who meet eligibility criteria, and who reside in Hancock County.
