Dundy County Veterans Aid Fund

What the page says. Dundy County's County Benefits page calls the CVA fund "a temporary emergency fund to assist veterans, their spouses, and dependents when there is an unforeseen emergency and there are no other resources available", for food, shelter, clothing, funeral, medical, dental and surgical items, applied for through the County Service Office, where the veteran "must demonstrate an 'inability'" to pay. The test it prints is out of date. The page limits the fund to veterans who "received an Honorable Discharge, and served during one of the defined 'wartime eras'". LB1300 (Laws 2024, section 45) struck the wartime-service test from section 80-102, which now 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. A peacetime veteran, or one with a general discharge, should apply anyway. What the fund holds and pays. The filed 2025-2026 budget's Veterans Aid fund (1900) held $10,399.22 on July 1, 2023, on July 1, 2024 and on July 1, 2025: it had no receipts and paid nothing in either year, and the county levies nothing for it. The 2025-2026 budget sets $1,000.00 for emergency relief and keeps the other $9,399.22 as a cash reserve. No aid claim appears in the Board's posted 2026 minutes. How to apply. Through the Veterans Service Office, (308) 423-2584, on a Tuesday (see that entry). See the Nebraska entry on the county fund for the committee's discretion and the State's own aid fund.
