You can get one-off emergency financial help for things like emergency or temporary housing and related costs such as utilities, insurance and house repairs, mortgage or rent assistance, emergency medical or dental costs, and emergency transport. Award amounts vary, help is granted only once, and payments go straight to your creditors rather than to you.
Submit the OVEFAP application with the documentation listed on it through a County or Tribal Veteran Service Officer, by post to ODVA Statewide Veteran Services/OVEFAP, 700 Summer Street NE, Salem OR 97301, by fax to 503-373-2393, or by email to ORVets.BENEFITS@odva.oregon.gov. For help call 503-373-2085.
A completed application, the veteran’s discharge paperwork, proof of Oregon residency, documentation of the emergency and the amounts owed, and proof of relationship if you are applying as a surviving spouse or child.
