Army Emergency Relief Adds Online Request Form

Army Emergency Relief, an Army charity program that lets soldiers and Army families in need receive grants, loans and scholarships, is trying to make the system just a little bit easier for families to navigate. Starting earlier this year, soldiers have been able to fill out the grant and loan application online, and then head into the AER office to complete the process, officials said. But soon they will be able to do the entire application online — and won’t necessarily ever need to visit the office, they said. For more details, see this Spousebuzz article.
