Bill > HB1135

This bill amends two sections of the North Dakota Century Code related to the veterans' aid fund, specifically increasing the maximum loan amount that veterans and surviving spouses of veterans can receive from $5,000 to $8,000. The veterans' aid fund is designed to provide financial assistance to qualifying veterans and their surviving spouses who are North Dakota citizens and residents. Under the amended law, eligible applicants can receive multiple loans as long as the total amount does not exceed $8,000, and if an applicant receives more than one loan, the amounts will be consolidated into a single payment. The department of veterans' affairs will determine loan eligibility based on specific criteria outlined in existing rules, and the key change is the expansion of the maximum loan amount to provide more financial support to veterans and their families.
