OAR 274-030-0535: Limitation on Distribution of Funds to Veterans’ Organizations

The Department shall not allocate funds to a veterans’ organization in an amount that is more than 50 percent of the organization’s approved budget. However, if the national headquarters of a state veterans’ organization bears the major portion of the expenses of the veteran service officer, the state veterans’ organization may submit as its own expense that portion of the annual member dues that are sent to its national headquarters as payment for a portion of the expenses of its veteran service officer. For purposes of this rule, a “veteran service officer” may be referred to by a veterans’ organization as a "State Service Officer" or a "National Service Officer."
