The veterans home health care program is for seniors that have proudly served their country. Elderly veterans receive assistance in daily activities from the comfort of their own homes.
Veterans and their spouses must meet rigorous criteria to qualify for this benefit. Veterans had to serve for at least 90 days, within one day during wartime. Wartime periods include the Mexican border period, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and the Gulf War.
There are limits on veterans’ homecare benefits depending on the income of both the veteran and their spouse. Congress sets these income limits. You will want to ensure that your combined income allows you to qualify for these benefits.
Qualifying veterans must document the need for help with some, but not all, daily life activities. This list includes administering medication, doctor appointments, meal preparation, etc.
