Franklin County (Nebraska) Veterans Aid Fund

Where to apply. Franklin County posts no aid page; the fund is administered under section 80-102 through the Veterans Service Office, (308) 425-3202, on Wednesdays (see that entry). Since LB1300 (Laws 2024, section 45) the statute 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, with no wartime-service test. What the fund holds. The filed 2025-2026 budget's Veterans Aid Fund (1900) held $122,965.85 on July 1, 2023, earned $5,042.08 of interest and paid $1,477.75 of aid in 2023-2024, held $126,531.22 on July 1, 2024, earned $5,363.79 and paid nothing in 2024-2025, and held $131,896.05 on July 1, 2025; it levies no tax. The 2025-2026 budget offers $99,897.05 of veterans aid and $3,000.00 for grave markers and keeps a $30,000.00 cash reserve. What it paid since. The Treasurer's semi-annual statements show the fund taking in $2,463.45 and paying nothing from January to June 2025, then taking in $2,460.90 and paying $4,757.05 from July to December 2025, to end the year at $129,599.90. A veteran in need should ask. See the Nebraska entry on the county fund for the committee's discretion and the State's own aid fund.
