Veterans’ Emergency Assistance

> country > community > commonwealth

Veterans Emergency Assistance Program

• Must have served during a period of war or armed conflict.

• Must have been discharged under Honorable conditions

• Must be a resident of Pennsylvania

• Must not be on public assistance (per the County Assistance Office)

• Must show financial need (cost of necessities of life greater than income)

Statistics SFY 2012/13:

Approved: 60% of applications received

Average total household benefit for one year (over 3 months): $809.26

Typical examples of Emergency Assistance claimants:

Single Unemployed Vet, Blair County: $205/mo. x 3 mo. = $615

Surviving spouse of recently deceased veteran w/ 2 children, Dauphin County: $403/mo. x 3 mo. = $1209



Statistics SFY 2012/13:

Denied: 40% of applications received

Reason most applications are denied: no income lost within 180 days, or the loss wasn’t sudden or unexpected

Typical examples of Emergency Assistance denials:

Older widow of veteran (deceased more than 180 days previous) on fixed income, bills pile up after death of veteran, but no income has been lost.

Veteran loses job, goes on unemployment, income reduced by 30%, but expenses for the necessities of life do not take into account car payments, insurance, childrens’ tuition, child care, telephone, etc.
