The Air Force Aid Society, or AFAS, can assist with emergency financial needs such as rent/mortgage, utilities, food, gas, car repair, emergency travel, funeral expenses, non-TRICARE covered dental/medical expenses (not cosmetic), childcare, car payment/insurance, and cell phone bill. Other needs will be considered on a case by case basis. Legal fees, credit card payments, reimbursement for emergency travel do not meet the criteria for AFAS assistance. Financial assistance is provided in form of a loan that is typically re-paid within a 10-month period as a monthly allotment from the member’s military pay. Loans over one thousand dollars require first sergeant's or commander's endorsement and a budget is required. Grants may be given under special circumstances.
