Army Emergency Relief (AER)

Army Emergency Relief provides financial assistance in the form of no interest loans and/or grants to Active Duty Military Families whose resources are not sufficient to meet emergency needs.

Retirees, their Families, widows, and orphans are also eligible for assistance.
Funds may be given for verifiable emergency situations including food, emergency travel, vehicle repair, rent (initial rent and security deposit or eviction), and the prevention of utility disconnection.

Applications for emergency assistance are available at the Family and MWR offices located Army Community Service, Conway Road. If the applicant is an Active Duty Soldier or Family member, the application must be approved by the chain of command.

When the applicant has completed the application and gathered all supporting documentation, he/she must make an appointment to see a counselor.

For more information about Army Emergency Relief check out the headquarters website at www.aerhq.org or contact the Fort Drum Office.

After hours assistance can be obtained by calling 1-877-272-7337 for emergencies that cannot wait until the next business day including privation and emergency travel.
