(1) Advise the local officials and individual veterans that this department will work with other sources from various agencies to render financial assistance. This department can give assistance in conjunction with resources from various agencies and service organizations, but a qualifying veteran is not required to wait until all other resources from various agencies have been completed. The Department of Veterans Affairs will render financial assistance in keeping with the rules and policies of the OklahomaVeterans Commission on the expenditure of child welfare and emergency aid funds.

(2) Advise the local veteran service organization officials and veterans as much as possible on help that can be secured through the American Red Cross. When the disasters are over, financial assistance may be rendered by the Department of Veterans Affairs in the normal manner with applications and upon recommendations of the local veteran service organization. Veterans Service Officers will render every assistance possible to local officials by assisting in completing the application forms except the investigation and recommendation, which is to be handled and made by the local officials.
