Who Qualifies for Veterans Benefits?
The good news is that many veterans from the military are eligible for in-home supportive care benefits through the Veterans Administration (VA).
If your loved one served in the military, they may be eligible for financial assistance to help pay for home care. Veterans may qualify for personal home care or health benefits through the VA if they meet the following criteria:
- Served in the active military, naval, or air service and separated under any condition other than dishonorable.
- Current and former members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty (other than for training only) by a federal order and completed the full period for which they were called or ordered to active duty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Military veterans may qualify for personal care benefits through the Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits or Community Care Network programs.
Aid and Attendance Benefits
Veterans who receive a VA pension may qualify for Aid and Attendance benefits if they need help with daily activities, are bed-bound, live in a nursing home, or have limited eyesight.
Veterans may qualify for “Housebound” benefits if they need to spend most of their time at home due to a permanent disability. In most cases, benefits are paid directly to the veteran and added to their monthly pension.
Community Care Network Benefits
Veterans who qualify for Community Care Network benefits may be eligible for assistance with home-health care costs. Qualified veterans will be assigned to a service care coordinator, who will determine how many hours per week the veteran requires care and will help the family connect with caregivers in their area. Community Care Network benefits are paid directly to partner organizations.
To apply for personal care benefits through the Veterans Administration, complete the 10-10EZ form and send it to the VA. Veterans can also visit a local Veterans Center and speak with a service coordinator, social worker, discharge planner, or case manager. These staff members can help with the application and answer questions about the program.
You must provide identification and documentation of your loved one’s veteran status. You may also be asked to provide financial statements or medical documents. Your VA service coordinator can provide more information about necessary documentation.
The best time to apply for home care benefits through the VA is before your loved one needs to use them. Application processing times can be lengthy, and the sooner you start, the more you can avoid paying out-of-pocket for services while you await approval.
