(4) The above documents will be submitted to the Cass County Veterans Service Officer for recording, verification and approval for payment.
(5) The Veterans Service Officer will present the claim to the County Auditor for processing for payment, properly attested as to the proper status of the veteran.
(6) The Veterans Service Officer will maintain the file of “Veterans Grave Registration Cards” on each veterans location of internment in Cass County cemeteries.
