What am I eligible for?

Every veteran’s situation and service is unique which is why we strongly encourage the veteran and/or dependent to contact our office so we can answer your eligibility questions based on your military service and situation.  Some examples of benefits we can help you with are:

  • VA Health Care Benefits
    • If you served active duty as a member of the U.S. Armed Forces at any time, you may be eligible for VA medical benefits. After 1980, two years minimum active duty is usually required. We can file a simple VA Form 1010EZ along with a copy of your DD214 discharge paper to apply for medical benefits. VA medical benefits are NOT INCOME BASED.
  • Family Health Care
    • The veteran of the family should meet one of the following criteria in order for the spouse to obtain medical benefits:
      • The veteran must be 100% service-connected disabled.
      • The veteran is deceased from service-connected disabilities.
      • The veteran died during active-duty with the U.S. Armed Forces as a result of a service-connected injury.
  • VA Medical Costs
    • Under normal VA Medical benefit programs, the veteran is required to make a "co-pay" for medications prescribed or approved by a VA Medical facility. In certain income situations, the VA may waive these fees.
  • Survivor Benefits
    • The veteran of the family should meet one of the following criteria in order for the spouse to obtain survivor benefits:
      • The veteran must be 100% service-connected disabled.
      • The veteran is deceased from service-connected disabilities.
      • The veteran died during active duty with the U.S. Armed Forces as a result of a service-connected injury.
  • Vietnam and Agent Orange
    • If you served in the military during the Vietnam era, you are automatically considered at risk from the effects of Agent Orange and may be entitled to special VA medical benefits as service-connected. If you were exposed to atomic bomb testing or served during the Gulf War or other special circumstances during other military services, you may be considered at risk for service-connected disabilities. These can include cancer, diabetes, and numerous other physical and physiological ailments.
  • Other Federal, State, and Local Benefits
    • There are state and local benefit programs in addition to the numerous federal programs. We will help you identify and apply for any program you are eligible for. Every veteran's situation and service is unique which is why we strongly encourage the veteran and/or dependant to contact our office so we can answer your eligibility questions based on your military service and situation.
