Support for Veterans

The Disabled American Veterans is issuing $1,000 checks to veterans who were displaced due to the fire. The DAV National Service Office in Portland has obtained drafts (checks) to be sent out to veterans/surviving spouses that have been impacted by the wildfires in Oregon.  The drafts are up to $1,000 per household, regardless if it’s a multiple veteran household.
To receive your check follow these steps:
  1.  Email dav.vbaport@va.gov and state WILDFIRE RELIEF in the subject line.
  2.  State the full name of the veteran/surviving spouse.
  3.  State if address that has been affected.
  4.  Include address to receive check at.
  5.  Include current phone number and/or email address.
  6.  Include proof of veteran status.  Various things will work for this, the veteran DOES NOT need to be in receipt of any VA benefits.  Examples:  DDF 214, VA rating sheet, driver’s license with “veteran”  annotation, etc.
  7.  Are you requesting for food and clothing only OR did you have to evacuate/pay for lodging?  Please include as much proof/verification to make this as easy as possible.
