How to apply
Service members or eligible family members who have an emergency need should contact the nearest NMCRS location and make an appointment to be seen by an NMCRS caseworker. Bring your ID card and latest Leave and Earnings Statement, if available, with you. If that office is closed and the emergency is of such a nature that it cannot wait until the next business day (e.g. death in the immediate family), the answering machine will provide instructions for obtaining after-hours assistance.
When there is no NMCRS office in the area, an available Army Emergency Relief, Air Force Aid Society or American Red Cross Chapter Office can process your request on behalf of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.
