What the county lists. The county's page names the County Veterans' Aid Fund among the benefits Cheyenne County offers directly, applied for through the Veterans Service Office, and prints no eligibility test of its own; since LB1300 (Laws 2024, section 45) section 80-102 reaches a veteran discharged honorable or general (under honorable conditions), or who died in service, who has lived a year in Nebraska and six months in the county, and a spouse, surviving spouse or minor child in need. What the fund holds and pays. Fund 1900 takes in about a dollar of property tax a year ($1.17 in 2024-2025) and lives on interest and gifts: it held $45,715.54 on July 1, 2023, paid $410.76 for grave markers and flags in 2023-2024, took a $2,000.00 donation and paid $1,064.02 for "Medical Hospital - Client Services" in 2024-2025, and held $48,123.15 on July 1, 2025. The filed 2025-2026 budget set $24,873.15 for client services, $21,250.00 for a van and $2,000.00 for markers, and keeps a $4,000 Veteran's Aid petty cash fund.
