Emergency Financial Assistance Program Description, Guidelines, and Application
The COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to have a global impact. We can see many people are starting to struggle to make ends meet as the stay-at-home increases to more states. Our Emergency Financial Assistance Program is meant as a stop gap measure for our survivors during times of unexpected expenses. If you have lost your job, we encourage our survivors to apply for unemployment benefits especially since unemployment benefits have been greatly increased during this pandemic. We encourage survivors who find themselves in these circumstances to use all resources to include government and non-government benefits. Assistance is available for the following types of expenses: medical, dental, utility bills, necessary home repairs, and car repairs. Other expenses may also be considered. We are here to help.
Purpose of Emergency Financial Assistance Program: At Special Ops Survivors, we understand that unexpected expenses sometimes arise. In an effort to help with the stress of these expenses, we are here to help with limited direct financial assistance. Assistance is available for the following types of expenses: medical, dental, utility bills, necessary home repairs, and car repairs. Other expenses may also be considered.
Description of Emergency Financial Assistance Program: Assistance is available in amounts of up to $1,000 per survivor/year for a lifetime cap of $5,000. Decisions on assistance applications are made by the Special Ops Survivors Board of Directors and are generally made within 72 hours. Forms need to be complete with receipts/estimates (if applicable) attached at the time of submission to be considered. Applications will remain open 30 days from the date of submission. If 30 days pass from the date of submission, a new Emergency Financial Assistance Application will need to be resubmitted.
Method of Delivery for Emergency Financial Assistance Program: Applications will be accepted through the Survivors’ Circle website and receipts can be uploaded at the bottom of the application. Decisions on assistance applications are made by the Special Ops Survivors Board of Directors and are generally made within 72 hours. Upon approval of emergency financial assistance, Special Ops Survivors will pay invoice/receipt directly.
