The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society can provide interest-free loans or grants to help with emergency needs such as: Emergency Transportation Funeral Expenses Medical/dental Bills (patient's share) Food, Rent, and Utilities Disaster Relief Assistance Child Care Expenses Essential Vehicle Repairs Unforeseen Family Emergencies How to apply Servicemember or eligible family members who have an emergency need should contact the nearest NMCRS location and make an appointment to be seen by an NMCRS caseworker. Bring your ID card and latest LES, if available, with you. If that office is closed and the emergency is of such a nature that it cannot wait until the next business day (e.g. death in the immediate family), the answering machine will provide instructions for obtaining "after hours" assistance. When there is no NMCRS office in the area, an available Army Emergency Relief, Air Force Aid Society, or American Red Cross Chapter Office can process your request on behalf of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. If you need emergency assistance after hours, please call: ARC Armed Forces Emergency Service Center (877) 272-7337 Updated: 16 March 2005 Return to the "Services" page
