Financial Assistance for Armed Forces Veterans and Surviving Spouses of Veterans
 
Any Family Member raising a veteran’s young dependent children
(such as grandparents)


Contact the veterans office in the county in which you live.  Request help with financial assistance; there will be an application that must be filled out to show need. Generally, we look at the last 30 days income and the last 30 days of expenses – that should be paid, even if they did not get paid.  Each county will vary in what they can provide. You must have a DD214/Military Discharge to apply.  In Defiance County we provide assistance with rent, mortgage, utilities (heat, water, electricity, sewer), food and gasoline.   In Defiance, we ask that you call and make an appointment.    If you cannot find your military discharge, we can assist you with applying for a new copy of it.  In Defiance we also have the KAVIC FUND (Keller Trucking fund) which allows us to help National Guard and Reservist as well as those who have served active duty.
