Support for Veterans
The Disabled American Veterans is issuing $1,000 checks to veterans who were displaced due to the fire. The DAV National Service Office in Portland has obtained drafts (checks) to be sent out to veterans/surviving spouses that have been impacted by the wildfires in Oregon. The drafts are up to $1,000 per household, regardless if it’s a multiple veteran household.
To receive your check follow these steps:
2. State the full name of the veteran/surviving spouse.
3. State if address that has been affected.
4. Include address to receive check at.
5. Include current phone number and/or email address.
6. Include proof of veteran status. Various things will work for this, the veteran DOES NOT need to be in receipt of any VA benefits. Examples: DDF 214, VA rating sheet, driver’s license with “veteran” annotation, etc.
7. Are you requesting for food and clothing only OR did you have to evacuate/pay for lodging? Please include as much proof/verification to make this as easy as possible.
