Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

The officer. Frontier County's Veterans Services page names Steve Zerr, Veterans Service Officer, 308-324-3041 - Dawson County's officer (see the Dawson County office entry, which also serves Frontier County) - and links the Dawson County office's page; its email link gives the old dawsoncountyne.org address, and the State's directory gives [email protected] at the Lexington courthouse, 700 N. Washington, Room V. What the fund holds and pays. Frontier County's filed 2025-2026 budget's Veteran's Aid fund (1900) held $4,469.19 on July 1, 2023 and $4,470.57 on July 1, 2024, paid nothing in 2023-2024 and $756.08 for supplies and markers in 2024-2025, and held $3,714.49 on July 1, 2025; a 2024-2025 transfer of $2,529.43 was budgeted but not made. For 2025-2026 the budget message moves $6,285.51 from the general fund "to the Veteran's Fund for veteran services", and the fund budgets $10,000.00: $9,000.00 of veterans' aid costs and $1,000.00 for supplies and markers. The budget message also keeps a $1,000.00 petty cash fund "for the Veteran's Service Officer from the Veteran's Aid Fund for veteran's assistance", set up by Resolution 2015-22 on August 26, 2015. Who qualifies. Frontier 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. Ask the officer at 308-324-3041; see the Nebraska entry on the county fund for the committee's discretion and the State's own aid fund.
