Applying for an Air Force Aid Society loan became easier through a new online application process.
Ramstein Air Base was selected as one of nine test bases for the new online process, giving Kaiserslautern Military Community service members easier access to emergency financial support.
The new application portal is active here and provides Airmen and Guardians of all ranks an opportunity to submit their applications for interest-free loans online rather than in-person at the Military and Family Readiness Center. However, the M&FRC is still open for in-person help.
“We pride ourselves on being able to help with whatever difficulties you may be going through,” said Angie Fields, M&FRC community readiness consultant. “In light of the COLA decrease and other financial challenges, our doors are always open to those who need help with applying for loans or grants, and we even offer financial counseling to help you budget your future.”
Airmen will be able to upload budget documents and fill out forms completely online, and, if approved, the loan will be directly deposited.
