PA Dept of Veterans Affairs Reminds Servicemembers Temporary Assistance is Available

The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) is reminding veterans of the Veterans Temporary Assistance (VTA) program, which provides financial relief for basic necessities of life such as food, shelter, fuel and clothing.

Since the inception of the VTA, DMVA has awarded more than $8.6 million to assist over 9,650 service members, veterans and their families with emergent financial needs.

Eligible veterans or their survivors can qualify for an amount not to exceed $1,600 in a 12-month period. For more information about the program’s criteria, eligibility and needed documentation, go to Veterans Temporary Assistance.

To apply, eligible veterans can contact the Bucks County Veterans affairs director for additional information.
