EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE

Financial assistance may be available to certain Michigan Veterans serving at least 180 days of active duty in a wartime period who were discharged under honorable conditions. The program assists with an unforeseen situation that causes a temporary or short-term financial emergency or hardship that a grant will resolve.  Examples of such needs include delay in unemployment benefits or other income or unexpected hospitalizations that cause reductions in income to meet household needs. The grants may assist with housing, utilities, car payments, or insurance or medical assistive devices.  Coordination is made with other agencies that may also assist with these types of needs.  You can attain more information or fill out an online emergency assistance form at https://www.michigan.gov/mvaa/forms/emergency-assistance-form or by calling 1-800-642-4838.
