Antelope County Veterans Aid Fund

What the fund holds. Fund 1900, Veterans Aid, paid $3,926.95 in 2023-2024 and $10,485.00 in 2024-2025, falling from $24,041.40 on July 1, 2023 to $12,092.25 on July 1, 2025. For 2025-2026 the county raised the levy to $10,907.75 (0.000295 per $100 of value), from $923.54 collected the year before, to budget $20,000.00 of aid with a $3,000.00 cash reserve. What it pays. The Board's claims pay the fund's aid through the "Antelope County Veterans Service Office": $588.00 to mark graves (August 12, 2025), $1,125.00 of veterans aid (September 9, 2025), $1,776.60 that "helped a vet with financial hospital bill" (January 13, 2026) and $525.00 for a "hospital bill paid for a veteran" (August 11, 2026). The county posts no aid page or application; apply through the Veterans' Service Office, (402) 887-4936 (see that entry). Who qualifies. Section 80-102 lets the county veterans service committee aid a veteran, a spouse, a surviving spouse or a minor child in need. Since LB1300 (Laws 2024, section 45) the veteran need only have served, been discharged honorable or general (under honorable conditions) or died in service, and lived a year in Nebraska and six months in the county; there is no wartime test. See the Nebraska entry on the county fund for the committee's discretion and the State's own aid fund.
