VETERAN CAREGIVING PAYER SOURCES
Veterans Aid & Attendance Pension Benefit
The Veterans Benefits Administration, a branch of the VA, offers tax-free, monthly monetary payments to certain veterans with financial need, and their survivors. The Pension is a benefit for veterans who do not have a service-connected disability resulting from their military service.
Aid and Attendance is an additional monetary amount that can be a standalone benefit or it can be added to an existing VA Pension. The enhanced Aid and Attendance amount is available for those who need the “aid and attendance” of another person for their routine daily living activities on a permanent basis. This benefit can cover in-home caregiving and can provide assistance with light housekeeping, errand running, personal grooming, dressing, meal prep, companionship and more.
Careworthy Home Care can check your eligibility for this coverage, as well as help you apply for this coverage. In many instances, you can start receiving care even before the VA has made a decision. Check your eligibility now!
In-Home Caregiving Benefits for Surviving Spouses
Surviving spouses may be able to access their late spouse's Veteran Aid and Attendance benefit, even if the veteran never applied while he or she was alive. The surviving spouse must meet a set of requirements in order to qualify for VA pension benefits:
-
You must have been married to a veteran for at least one year.
-
You must have been married to a veteran at the time of his death.
-

Remarriage does not affect your surviving spouse eligibility for “Aid and Attendance” if you meet all the following requirements:
-
You were married to your veteran spouse at the time of his death.
-
Your remarriage began after January 1, 1971.
-
Your remarriage ended before November 11, 1990.
Remarriage outside the specified dates will disqualify you from this benefit.
