Army Emergency Relief

COMMUNITY UPDATE: AER READY TO ASSIST SOLDIERS DURING GOVERNMENT LAPSE AER will provide rapid, zero-interest loans to help cover financial needs until normal operations and back pay resume. Assistance is available up to one net paycheck (maximum $6,000), with repayment beginning once pay is restored. If you or someone you know may be affected, please share this information. Together, we can make sure Soldiers and their families know where to turn for help.
Army Emergency Relief is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides loans and grants to active duty Soldiers, retired Soldiers, Army Reserve, and National Guard members on Title 10 orders (30 days or more), and their eligible dependents. Assistance covers urgent needs such as emergency travel, housing costs, utilities, and medical co-pays not covered by TRICARE, vehicle repair, childcare, and funeral expenses. Support is available quickly, often within 48 hours, and no prior contributions are required to apply.
