Veterans can benefit from home, health, and monthly benefits in the United States. For example, the VA Home Loan Program. This Loan program can help Veterans buy a home with a “guaranteed percentage of the loan for a down payment” claims benefits.gov.
Buying a house is not something cheap, so any benefits or money will come in handy. What is more, if you have a disability you can also take advantage of the Veteran’s Compensation for Service-Connected Disabilities.
This program can give you monthly payments. Do not forget that they are tax-free, so they are even more advantageous. Your payment will be higher or lower depending on the degree of your disability. Check eligibility here: https://www.va.gov/disability/eligibility/
VETERANS PENSION PROGRAM
Apart from the VA home loan and Veteran’s Compensation for Service-Connected Disabilities, you could apply for the Veterans Pension program. In fact, this benefit can help you if you do not have a service-connected disability.
Health is another costly issue in the United States. The best thing is that all Veterans who are enrolled can benefit from the Basic Medical Benefits Package for Veterans.
But what does the Basic Medical Benefits Package for Veterans offer? As a matter of fact, it gives beneficiaries preventive services, specialty care, primary care, and sometimes dental care.
CAREGIVER PROGRAMS AND SERVICES BENEFITS
Last but not least, Caregiver Programs and Services are also a possibility. So, both Veterans and families can get support. On the one hand, it can give them a monthly stipend.
If you need to travel because you are undergoing care, you will get support for travel expenses. Health care benefits may be available if the Veteran cannot get any other.
Counseling and mental health services can be obtained too. Respite care is something eligible Veterans can benefit from. Easter Seals may offer comprehensive VA caregiver training if eligible as well. As a bonus tip, explore SNAP and SSI if you need more financial support.
