VA
About 25 percent of the nation's population is potentially eligible for veteran benefits because they are veterans, family members of veterans or survivors of veterans. Not all veterans are automatically entitled to Veterans Administration ("VA") health care. The VA health care system primarily benefits veterans with service-connected disabilities, certain combat veterans, low-income veterans and very elderly veterans with wartime service. Veterans with low priority may have to pay for health care.
In most cases, health care can be obtained at VA facilities. In some circumstances, VA health care can be obtained at non-VA facilities. Some family members and surviving family members of veterans may receive health care coverage through the VA. Enrollment is required for some VA medical benefits while others are need not enroll to receive them. A veteran can enroll in person at any VA facility providing medical services, by mail or over the Internet. Veterans applying for enrollment must complete VA Form 10-10EZ. Enrolled veterans use VA Form 10-10EZR (Health Benefits Renewal Form) to update data on employment, health, insurance, finances or other relevant information. After the veteran files the application, the VA determines the veteran's priority group.
Federal law requires nursing home care be provided to any veteran requiring nursing facility care for a service-connected disability, or any veteran with a service-connected disability rated at 70% disabling or more. Nursing home care is provided to other veterans on a space-available basis. Once admitted to a VA facility, the veteran will not be transferred without the informed consent of the veteran or the veteran's legal representative.
A non-service connected VA pension is available to assist veterans in paying for in-home health care, assisted living and nursing facility care at a private facility. This pension is a monthly payment available to certain wartime veterans permanently and totally disabled because of non-service connected or service connected conditions. There are two primary types of monthly pensions available to the veteran or veteran's surviving spouse. The first is the House-Bound benefit while the second is the Aid and Attendance benefit.
