The Soldiers’, Sailors’ and Marines’ Fund (SSMF) is an agency of the State of Connecticut established in 1919 to assist needy wartime veterans and their families. The agency is administered by The American Legion in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Connecticut General Statutes. This website contains information regarding eligibility requirements, including military service and residency, types of available assistance, and contact information.

Connecticut veterans requiring assistance may contact one of our full-time Veterans Aid Investigators or a volunteer Fund Representative serving their locality in order to discuss their situation, the assistance that we might be in a position to provide, and how they may apply. Assistance is provided for temporary periods only.
