Financial Assistance for Veterans

The Department of Veteran Affairs offers financial assistance to war-era veterans and their surviving spouses called Aid and Attendance.

Veteran’s Aid and Attendance Program is a Federal benefit for wartime Veterans and their spouses. Veterans and their spouses may be entitled to receive tax-free financial assistance to help offset the cost of Assisted Living.  You’ll find more information on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Website.

Veterans with honorable military service of at-least 90days, with one day during a period of war should apply. In addition to meeting service requirements, the Veteran and/or spouse must meet medical and financial criteria.

The 2023 reimbursement rates for the A&A Pension Program for those within an Assisted Living or Specialized Memory Care Community can provide up to $2229 per month to a veteran,  $1432 per month to a surviving spouse, $1749 per month to a Well Veteran and Ill Spouse and  $2,642 per month to a Veteran and spouse.

“Opening New Doors” can put you in direct contact with a Veteran’s Service Officer in your region who can help you apply for this benefit.
