What the page says. The county page lists the County Veterans' Aid Fund (CVA) "To meet immediate emergency financial needs", through the Veterans' Service Office. What the fund holds. Fund 1900, Veteran's Aid, levies $1,000 a year (0.000040 per $100 of value for 2025-2026) and paid nothing in 2023-2024 or 2024-2025, growing from $23,453.76 on July 1, 2023 to $25,454.02 on July 1, 2025; the 2025-2026 budget makes $26,454.00 available for aid. On November 18, 2025 the Board paid the "Polk County Veterans Service Comm" a reimbursement of $8,111.50 from the fund, the only aid fund claim in the minutes of July 2025 to October 2026. The Board set the same $1,000 aid fund tax request for 2025-2026 (October 7, 2025) and for 2026-2027 (October 6, 2026). How to apply. Call the Veterans' Service Office, (402) 747-2130 (see that entry). 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.
