VETERAN'S BENEFITS

VETERAN'S AID AND ATTENDANCE PROGRAM

If you’re a veteran or the spouse of a veteran, you may qualify for financial assistance under the The VA Aid and Attendance Pension (also known as the A&A Program). As of 2020, this pension provides up to $3,032 a month for veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily care needs like bathing, dressing, removing prosthetics, transportation and medication management.

Determining eligibility can take time and requires thorough documentation, but here’s what you need to qualify:

  • Must have served on active duty for at least 90 consecutive days, including at least one full day during a time of war.

  • Must be 65 or older or have a permanent disability or reservice supplemental security income, or receive social security disability insurance or reside in a senior living community.
