Are you aware of your benefits? Michigan has a Veterans Trust Fund that is used to assist veterans in need of emergency grants for:

• Mortgage payments
• Rent
• Past due utility bills
• Medical bills (limit to $200)
• Dental/optical bills
• Vehicle payments
• Vehicle repairs
• Home repairs
• Vehicle insurance

To be eligible you must be a resident of Michigan and Macomb County; discharged under honorable conditions; serve 180 days of active wartime service OR have been awarded an expeditionary medal.

Emergent need is further defined to mean an unforeseen circumstance causing a temporary financial emergency or hardship that a grant will resolve. The key factor in determining whether or not a grant is approved is the ability of the applicant to manage the obligation for which aid is requested after a grant is made. If there is no reasonable expectation that the Michigan Veterans Trust Fund Grant would enable the applicant to resume his/her financial responsibility, then a grant does not meet policy.
