The Veterans Service Office assists needy veterans in applying for healthcare aid grants. Approved grants may be used for a veteran's dental or eye care, or hearing aids.
Subsistence Aid grants may be available to cover basic costs of living expenses where illness, injury or death cause a loss or reduction of income. To qualify, the veteran must have suffered a loss of income in the previous 120 days. There is a lifetime limit on these grants.
For both grants, the household income must be at or under 180% of the current federal poverty level guidelines for family size. For example, for a single veteran, living alone, the maximum monthly household income is $1,821. There are additional qualification requirements.
