Veterans pension benefits are out there for Florida's veterans and the VA does not want you to know about it. Growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, I've met plenty of families that came during their time in the navy and have stayed. Why? Because Jacksonville is an amazing town. I want Jacksonville veterans to receive the benefits to which they are entitled so they can stay in this part of Florida and not have not move because of health care costs.
Unfortunately, due to the rising costs of health care and nursing care, plenty of military families are having their assets and wealth depleted. This money will be sent off, never to be seen again. But what if you can transfer the veteran's wealth to family members without depletion from long term health care cost AND receive a cash monthly?
Veterans pension benefits is your answer, and here are basic qualifications:
1) The veteran served in the military during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War;
2) The veteran meets the countable income and asset requirements (note that the requirements are for low income levels BUT do not let this dissuade you, a veterans pension lawyer can help and you will learn more from me later); and
3) You did not receive a dishonorable discharge.
These rules get you started. In future posts I dicuss the asset and income limits for VA aid and attendance.
