The Indiana Veterans' Affairs Commission is authorized by IC 10-17-12-10 to establish rules regarding eligibility criteria for the Military Family Relief Fund, which is administered by the Indiana Department of Veterans' Affairs. These rules set forth criteria used in determining whether an applicant is eligible to receive assistance from the fund, the establishment of a hardship justifying assistance from the fund, criteria examined by the commission in determining an applicant's need, and a description of the application process.

Economic Impact on Small Business
The Military Family Relief Fund is funded by military branch license plates, Support our Troops license plates, private donors, and a "check the box" option when filing a state tax return. This rule does not impact small businesses.
