VACMC: Veterans Assistance Commission of McDonough County
VACMC is a County Governmental Agency operated by and for U.S. Veterans. VACMC is authorized to act as the central committee for Veterans' Assistance in McDonough County under the Illinois Military Veterans Assistance Act (330 ILCS 45/1 et seq.) and is funded in accordance with the provisions of the Illinois Counties Code (55 ILCS 5/1-1001 et seq.).
The Veterans Assistance program is an emergency and interim financial assistance program and should not be considered to be an ongoing financial supportive program. All assistance provided by the VACMC is predicated on an established standard of need as set forth by IDHS. It is not the intent of either the Commission or the County to provide assistance either less than or in excess of the levels of assistance adopted by IDHS. As provided by the Illinois Counties Code (55 ILCS 5/5-2006), the funds provided by the VACMC for its assistance programs are obtained solely from appropriated tax moneys levied on property owners in McDonough County. Standards of indigence are applied by the Department of Human Resources in the State of Illinois and the Standards of Indigence set by the Veterans Assistance Commission.
