Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Platte County, NECounty

The county's page lists the County Veterans' Aid Fund (CVA) "To meet immediate emergency financial needs", applied for through the Veterans' Service Office, 402-563-4914. What the county spends. Platte County keeps no separate aid fund - neither the 2025-2026 budget nor the 2026-2027 budget hearing notice lists one - and pays aid from a Veterans Aid line in the Veterans Service budget: $10,000.00 spent in 2023-2024, $10,000.00 spent in 2024-2025, and $10,000.00 budgeted for 2025-2026. The detailed 2026-2027 budget is not posted, and no record shows how many veterans the money reached. Who qualifies. 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; there is no wartime test. See the Nebraska entry on the county fund for the committee's discretion and the State's own aid fund.
