Veteran Aid and Attendance Pension can help pay for Assisted Living
If you are a Veteran, or the surviving spouse of a Veteran, it is very likely that you are entitled to a pension that will help you pay for your Assisted Living. Even if you are already on Medicaid in the nursing home, you may still be eligible for an additional $90 per month if you qualify. Since a recipient for Medicaid is limited to only $50 per month for his/her personal needs, this extra $90 per month can be very useful.
It is very important to seek the counsel of someone familiar with the Medicaid Rules and Regulations when making decisions regarding the spend-down of your assets to qualify for the Aid and Attendance Pension.
Beginning this Spring, our Clinic will be offering free informational seminars on the application process for the Aid and Attendance Pension. Admission is limited to the Applicant himself/herself, or their Agents/family members. Please check back in February 2012 for dates and to register for one of these seminars
