Veterans and the Cost of Long Term Care
The average cost for assisted living today is more than $3,400.00 per month! Many Veterans and their surviving spouses are unable to pay this high cost from their Social Security and retirement pensions. Often, families are pauperized or become dependent of children to assist with these expenses. In many cases, an eligible veteran or surviving spouse can receive financial benefits from the VA that may cover 20-50% of these costs for life (if eligibility is maintained.) These funds are sent directly to the claimant and are tax-free. VA disability benefits are often the difference between receiving vital medical and personal care either at home or in assisted living. Are you or your loved one eligible?
