To be eligible for emergency financial assistance, a definite
financial need must be demonstrated. The wording of the
law states that assistance is intended for needy veterans
or members of the armed forces or the needy spouse, surviving
spouse, parent minor child or ward of a veteran or member
of the armed forces who is a bona-fide resident.
The Veterans Service Commission considers many factors when
determining financial need including income from work, benefits
from County, State and Federal Government, your living expenses
and all assets.
Burial Benefits
Burial Benefits are also offered through the Veterans
Service Center for an amount not to exceed $1000. This assistance
should be applied for by the Funeral Home that has or is
assisting in the burial.
