The Winston-Salem Regional Office continues adherence to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. The CDC recently issued updated guidance on Interim Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People. Consistent with that guidance, in areas of substantial or high community transmission, agencies must require all Federal employees, onsite contractors, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask inside of Federal buildings. Masks are required to be worn in the Winston-Salem Regional Office as well as its out-based locations.
Veterans can continue to interact with the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) virtually for accessing benefits information online or when filing a claim online. For claim-specific questions call 1-800-827-1000. Read more about our response to COVID-19.
