The officer. Blaine County's Veterans Services page lists Custer County's Veterans Service Officer, Emory Haynes, 431 South 10th, Broken Bow, NE 68822, 308-872-2071 (see the Custer County office entry, which also serves Blaine County). What the fund holds and pays. Blaine County's filed 2025-2026 budget's Veterans Aid fund (1900) held $5,646.81 at the start of 2023-2024, 2024-2025 and 2025-2026: it had no receipts and paid nothing in either year, against $5,646.81 budgeted for emergency relief in 2024-2025, and the county levies nothing for it. The 2025-2026 budget again sets the whole $5,646.81 for emergency relief. The county posts no Board minutes, so no aid claim can be read. Who qualifies. Blaine County posts no aid text. 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. Apply through the Custer County office, 308-872-2071, or ask the County Clerk in Brewster, (308) 547-2222, extension 201; see the Nebraska entry on the county fund for the committee's discretion and the State's own aid fund.
