Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Veterans Affairs will need to hire 4 Veterans Services Officers to cover additional duties. This necessitates the need for additional funding in personal services. These new employees will need office space. Depending on where they are housed, we may or may not need additional locations. They will all need office furniture, computers, faxes, copiers, phone lines set up and starting office supplies. This would be included as start up costs. Ongoing costs would consist of rent, phone charges, office supplies, and travel. There would most likely be a great deal of travel involved. Once these positions and offices are established the cost should remain constant in the future.
