Company History

Created as a Cabinet-level agency on August 21, 2008, by Senate Bill 289 of the 127th Ohio General Assembly, Senate Bill 289 gave the department the responsibility to work directly with the County Veterans Service Offices (CVSOs) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), as well as with the various veterans service organizations. The Department grew out of the Governor's Office of Veterans Affairs (GOVA), and also assumed responsibility for the Ohio Veterans Homes (OVH).
