Who can apply to the Virginia State Employee Assistance Fund (VSEAF) Grant Program?
Active Virginia State Employees can apply for assistance (including full-time and part-time employees but not contractors) who do not have an existing assistance fund in their agency. Please note that VCU Health Systems and Virginia Department of Corrections have their own internal employee assistance funds.
