You can get a grant to help your family pay for food, housing, utilities, medical services and other costs that get hard to afford when a wage earner is called to active duty. There are three grants: a status-based grant of $250 for each eligible dependent, a need-based grant of up to $2,000, and a casualty-based grant of $2,000.
Complete the application for the grant you want, attach the documents it lists, and mail the original to Department of Military Affairs, Attn: Director’s Office, 1956 Mt Majo Street, PO Box 4789, Fort Harrison MT 59636. For questions call the Montana Department of Military Affairs fiscal officer at 406-324-3333.
A signed and dated application, proof of the service member’s federal active duty orders in support of a contingency operation, and proof that the family member is enrolled in DEERS as a dependent.
