PURPOSE:

The Veterans Dental Care Grant Program (hereinafter “Program”) is to be established under the new rule and the purpose of the Program is to help Florida veterans enjoy greater access to routine dental care through The Florida Veterans Foundation (“FVF”) which will be tasked with overseeing the creation of the Program as well as being responsible for its administration once created. The Program will be funded with a yearly appropriation from the Florida legislature and will serve veterans during the annual funding period. To administer the Program, the FVF will award grants to one or more organizations, dental practices, or individual dentists. The rule establishes the eligibility requirements for veterans seeking dental care under the program and sets up the framework for the FVF to acquire funding from the legislature and describes how the FVF will apportion those funds to approved dental service organizations via grants to help pay for dental procedures required by eligible Florida veterans.
