Dear neighbors,
As disaster relief efforts continue throughout our state, I wanted to share some new and important information from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Veterans, their families and surviving spouses may be eligible for a disaster relief grant of up to $1,000 if they have not received other state or federal assistance.
Veterans and their families should contact their respective County Veteran Service Office (CVSO) to apply for a Disaster Relief Grant, or call 1-888-LINKVET (546-5838) for assistance finding the location and phone number of their CVSO.
Original receipts for expenditures must be dated no earlier than June 11, 2014 and no later than August 31, 2014. MDVA must receive all completed applications and receipts with a postmarked date no later than September 30, 2014.
If I can be of any assistance in connecting you or a Veteran you know with the appropriate service office, please contact me by phone at (651) 296-4193 or by email at rep.jeanne.poppe@house.mn.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Poppe
