The Texas National Guard Family Support Foundation (TXNGFSF) was awarded a $160,000 grant from the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC). The grant originally only provided for temorary, emergency funding for medical and dental expenses and insurance for each. The grant has been amended to also provide for non-medical, temporary, emergency financial assistance. All funding is for current service members, dependents and survivors. Eligible current service members must be in the rank of E1-E4 or a Non-Commissioned Officer in the rank of E5 and E6. Service members whose applications are approved for financial assistance by TXNGFSF's Board of Directors will also receive a referral for TVC employment counseling and other TVC services.
