County court highlights CHHS veterans phone nomination and application deadline
Summary
Officials discussed a Cabinet for Health and Human Services program to nominate veterans for a free AT&T Android phone; nominations open 07/01/2025 and the application deadline listed on materials is Sept. 30. Eligibility cited includes veterans 60+ and those with traumatic brain injury.
An unidentified county official told the Estill County Court that the Cabinet for Health and Human Services will accept nominations for a phone program intended for older veterans and veterans with traumatic brain injuries.
"They will receive an AT and T Android phone," the speaker said, explaining the program and noting nominations begin 07/01/2025. The materials reviewed in the meeting list an application submission deadline of Sept. 30.
The speaker described eligibility as "veterans aged 60 or older or veterans diagnosed [with] traumatic brain injury," and clarified the TBI definition in the packet as a partial or total disability caused by trauma to the central nervous system.
No court motion or vote on county participation was recorded in the meeting transcript. Court members asked about the application deadline during the discussion; the official confirmed the Sept. 30 cutoff that appears on the materials.
Next steps described in the meeting were nomination collection by the court office: staff said they would accept names from residents who want to nominate eligible veterans.
The court did not take a formal vote during the recorded segments and gave no formal direction beyond asking residents to submit nominations if they have candidates who meet the stated criteria.
