Short-term assistance

The Employee Assistance Fund provides short-term assistance with basic living expenses in response to financial hardship caused by large-scale disasters, personal disasters, or personal hardships as a result of a family emergency or other sudden, severe, overwhelming, or unexpected event.

America’s Charities manages the grant processing and all administrative aspects of the EAF on behalf of Maximus, including final determinations on the amount of funding relief to be granted. This ensures confidentiality and impartial decision-making. America’s Charities also has expertise on this subject matter to make sound decisions on qualifying events. As a charitable program, income eligibility guidelines may apply.
