Contact the A&FRC for:

Emergency Financial Assistance through the Air Force Aid Society

 

Eligibility:

à Active duty members and their dependents

à Retired Air Force personnel and their dependents, but not on a continuing basis. Case by case review.

à Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve personnel on extended duty over 15 days, away from their home station, under Title 10, U.S. Code.

à Spouses and dependent age children of deceased Air Force personnel (who died on active duty or in retired status).

 

Assistance Policy:

à Each case is evaluated on its own merits.

 

Emergency Assistance is given when:

à A member cannot otherwise pay for specific basic needs -- lack of which would affect the member's Air Force job or the essential quality and dignity of life the Air Force wants for its people.

à The need is essential.

à It is aimed at specific needs -- and, generally limited to relatively short term periods.

 

Emergency Assistance is not given (except to alleviate an immediate hardship):

à If it merely postpones a long-term inability to exist on present pay and allowances. Note: If counseling and a stringent budget, coupled with a loan or grant won't solve the problem, then command participation may be necessary.

à For non-essentials -- or to supplement the income of people who consistently lack sufficient self discipline to live within their means.

à For continuing long-term assistance commitments.

à To replace funds due to garnishment (e.g. DPP, government issued travel cards, military fines).
