Temporary Financial Assistance
PO Box 361626
Indianapolis, IN 46235-5331In the 1920s The American Legion began a national program of Temporary Financial Assistance to keep the children of deceased or disabled veterans at home rather than in institutions. This cash aid is still available for cases not covered by subsequent state and federal programs for the needy. In 1999, the TFA program provided more than $302,983 to 466 families, benefiting almost 960 children.
Through TFA, a local Post can call upon the National Organization for cash assistance to help maintain the basic needs of veterans’ children. The TFA fund has been used to assist families in meeting the costs of shelter, food, utilities and health expense items when the parents are unable to do so, thereby keeping the child, or children, in a more stable home environment.
