You can get financial help of up to $10,000 per claim in a 12-month period for housing, utilities, medical services and other essential expenses when military service has caused you undue financial hardship. The fund is a payer of last resort, so you have to look elsewhere first.
Complete the Military Family Assistance Fund application and mail it with all the supporting documents to the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs, ATTN: MFA Administrator, PO Box 94095, Baton Rouge LA 70804-9095. You can also apply online, or call 225-219-3700.
Your DD214 or NGB22, proof of Louisiana residency, documentation of the hardship and the expenses you need covered, and evidence you sought help from other sources first.
