Key Benefits & Features:
- Financial Relief: Provides extra monthly funds (e.g., over $2,300 for a single vet in 2025) on top of existing VA pensions for care.
- Covers Care Costs: Pays for private care in homes, assisted living, memory care, or nursing homes, easing financial strain.
- Tax-Free Income: The benefit itself is tax-free, like Social Security.
- Asset Protection: Allows veterans to “spend down” income on medical expenses (like care, meds, dentures) to qualify, helping preserve assets.
- Improved Quality of Life: Enables access to necessary care, enhancing dignity and safety.
Who Qualifies (General Requirements):
- Service: Honorable service, including at least 90 days with one wartime day.
- Medical Need: Requires help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, eating, toileting) or is bedridden/blind/in a nursing home.

How It Helps:
- For Assisted Living: Can pay for private-pay facilities that don’t accept Medicaid.
