Veterans Aid & Attendance
Did you know that you and your family may qualify for over $21,000.00 a year in tax free VA Aid and Attendance benefits?
These benefits could help you afford the costs of a Skilled Nursing Home, an Assisted Living Facility, or even the cost of a Caregiver while living at home. That Caregiver can be a certified healthcare professional, or even a family member. This little known benefit of Wartime Veterans or their Surviving Spouses is specifically designed to help those who require the regular assistance of others to perform the activities of daily living such as cooking, cleaning, bathing, dressing and driving, or other activities.
While there are certain eligibility requirements of wartime military service, medical need, income and assets, it is still estimated that millions may qualify. Clearly, this benefit can play a significant role not only in paying for long term care costs, but also in aging with dignity.
Aid and Attendance is part of the public benefit retirement puzzle, including Social Security, and Medicaid (MediCal in California). We can help you put the pieces of the puzzle together. As part of an overall estate plan prepared by our office we can complete an application for Aid and Attendance FREE of charge. Or we can refer you to a local Veterans Service Organization to complete the application should you choose.
