Do you or your family need financial help to cover a personal need? Do you work for a nonprofit organization that needs assistance completing a project? Maybe you’ve heard that the government offers financial help, but you don’t know what type of assistance you could access and where to find out. The first thing you should be clear about is that there are two types of financial aid offered by the Government and that each of them has different eligibility requirements.

Subsidies or “grants”

Subsidies or “grants” are financial aid to finance projects or to provide public services, and are only available to non-profit organizations, universities, states and local governments. Note that:

• Most government grant funding opportunities are not for individuals.
• If you find information on the internet or elsewhere claiming that the government offers grants or “free money” to people to start a business or help pay bills, do not believe it, it may be a scam.
• If you’re part of an organization that you think may be eligible for a US Government grant, find free information about available grants, tips, and tools to help you through the application process .

loans

The Government makes loans to individuals for specific purposes, such as to help finance education, to assist with housing needs, or in response to an emergency or crisis. Note that: 

• Loans, unlike grants, must be repaid in payments that are often with interest.
• If what you need is money to cover a personal need, you may be eligible for one of the loans granted by the Government.
• To search for government loans, use the federal government’s free official website Gov Loans.gov, where you can access information on loans for agriculture, business, disaster assistance, education, housing, and veterans.

The school subsidy consists of the delivery of resources of fiscal origin, via transfer, which will tend to create, maintain and expand educational establishments whose structure, teaching staff, material resources, teaching aids and other elements of the former, provide an adequate educational environment. and culture.

IMPORTANT

To express the amount to be subsidized per student, a unit of measurement is used that is called the Educational Subsidy Unit (USE), and it can be seen that all the amounts are expressed in factors of said unit.

The USE is readjusted in December of each year or when public sector salaries are readjusted, and by the same percentage.

For each one of the levels and modalities of education, there is a value per student, differentiating the amount depending on whether the student is served with or without a Full Day School Day (JEC).

Together we want to generate a roadmap from today and for the next 4 years, for the recovery of comprehensive student learning, through collaborative work between the educational community, the Ministry of Education and other key actors in the educational system, collecting, strengthening and complemented the initiatives that the Ministry of Education has currently implemented.

The federal government awards grants to universities, state agencies, and nonprofit organizations, not individuals. Therefore, you will have to look very hard if you need free dental help. 

Keep in mind that you may be more likely to get some kind of financial help for your dental treatment in some cases. For example, if you belong to a group of people considered disadvantaged in some way or in a vulnerable situation.

Single mothers

Single mothers looking for dental grants can try to get them from programs that help low-income people. Single parents often live near the poverty level because the household has only one earner. Usually, the mother needs to reduce work hours to supervise her children.

Therefore, single mothers with low incomes often find financial support from the government in other areas , which leaves part of their funds to pay for oral care.

• Medicaid pays for dental treatment in much of the country, as we discussed in the previous section.
• Housing assistance programs subsidize rent payments
• Food stamps reduce grocery costs

veterans

Veterans seeking free dental help can alternatively take advantage of direct government support . In addition, citizens appreciate the sacrifice of the individuals who served in our armed forces: Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.

1. The Department of Veterans Affairs provides low-cost oral care for a select group of former service members with different kinds of benefits:

• Service-connected disability
• former prisoner of war
• Service-connected aggravated medical condition
• Complication of medical problem currently under treatment
• Participated in vocational rehabilitation
• Homeless and receiving benefits

2. Nonprofit organizations often help veterans with their oral care needs . Donors can support these entities, and licensed professionals can offer pro bono services.

• Everybody for Veterans (E4V) supports servicemen and women (and their spouses) who have returned from combat zones and are struggling financially

disabled

Disabled adults and their guardians who are seeking free dental help,

they can sometimes find other help in the form of government support . Meanwhile, charities often lend a helping hand to people with special needs.

1. Social Security Disability beneficiaries qualify for two potential health programs that could lower oral care costs.

• Medicaid pays for some dental work (see previous section) and covers all SSI recipients, and SSDI recipients for the first two years.
• Medicare doesn’t pay for dentistry (unless you’re enrolled in an Advantage Plan – Part C) and covers people with SSDI after two years.

2. Charitable organizations offer dental work support to people with disabilities because they want to serve others in need.

• Dental Lifeline Network is a national nonprofit organization that provides access to treatment and education to people who cannot afford it and are permanently disabled or elderly (65 and older) or medically frail.
