COVID-19 ASSISTANCE
We have prepared a list of links for Military Families enduring difficult times during the COVID-19 pandemic on this page.
NOTE:
Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund is prepared to help our existing families in need of emergency financial assistance with food, housing, utilities and fuel on a case by case basis. Our military veterans that are unemployed/furloughed due to the current pandemic and have children under the age of 18 in the household will be considered first. We know this pandemic has been very challenging on us all. Don’t panic! Contact your mortgage lender or landlord and ask them for their policy on late payments/evictions. Call your utility providers and discuss any options or emergency services available. Search online for local & state government services that might be helpful. Prepare & execute a revised budget itemizing any monthly income changes versus all monthly expenses. Remember stimulus checks will be going out soon. Please be patient with us and check back for more information as this global crisis continues to unfold. We continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Stay safe!
WASHINGTON -- The Army Emergency Relief program has implemented changes to assist Soldiers and families impacted by the spread of COVID-19.
The new guidelines ensure that Soldiers and families can process assistance applications on time, while under quarantine or observing limited face-to-face interaction, said retired Command Sgt. Maj. Charles Durr Jr., chief of assistance.
Soldiers and families must first inform their chain of command of their current financial hardship. They will then need to fill out an AER application and supporting documentation and route it up to their chain of command for approval.
Any documents containing personally identifiable information must be transmitted securely, officials said. Soldiers are asked to notify a local AER officer of their intent to submit an assistance application and request a DOD Safe secure document upload link. To learn more visit

Air Force Aid Society: Every Airman and Family Readiness Center has emergency essential employees, including someone qualified to administer assistance from Air Force Aid Society, according to the organization’s CEO, retired Lt. Gen. John D. Hopper, Jr. Those employees will be able to conduct business even if the base shuts down. “A global pandemic will present challenges we have not yet imagined. The most important element about delivering support is the local commander,” Hopper said. “We will work with the folks on the ground to shape the infrastructure to fit their needs. Bottom line —we remain flexible, available and ready to assist to meet the needs of our airmen and their families.”
Coast Guard Mutual Assistance: This relief society is also offering a process to request assistance online, for those who can’t or don’t want to come on base. Coast Guard members can fill out the form on the webpage, and email it to their local Coast Guard Mutual Assistance representative. CGMA is offering loans up to $6,000 for loss of pay by a spouse; child care needs due to school closures; and costs while quarantined, such as lodging and food, said retired Rear Adm. Cari Thomas, CEO of the relief society. The organization is also offering limited grants for change fees that are not being waived, she said. Members can choose to get their assistance by check in the mail, or by electronic deposit.
