If you need emergency assistance, you can expect to get help from your installation, your branch of service resources. There are programs to support you in a variety of situations, including victim assistance, emergencies en route and service-specific relief societies. Below, you’ll find types of assistance, contact information, and detailed procedures and guidance to help you through any tough circumstances that you or your family may face.
The Air Force Aid Society provides interest-free loans and grants to active duty Air Force members and their families, retired Air Force members, dependents of deceased Air Force members, as well as Air National Guard and Reserve personnel serving on extended active duty.
Categories of financial assistance include:
To apply for emergency financial assistance, applications should go online to the AFAS website. Once submitted, an AFAS caseworker will contact you to further discuss your request. All requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Emergency assistance usually combines an assessment of the emergency situation and and evaluation of the personal budget to arrive at a decision to make an interest-free loan, a grant, or a combination of both.
