Event Details

Ever heard of the Veterans Non-Service Connected Improved Pension?

The Veterans Non-Service Connected Improved Pension
This pension benefit program is federally funded for veterans and/or their surviving spouses age 65 or older. It's designed to fund in-home care for those who meet established criteria. It may be in addition to a VA Pension or a VA Compensation. If you or your spouse meets the criteria established by the VA, you might qualify to get up to $1900 per month from the VA. Some of the basic criteria are:

Total Financial Assets – aid is based on financial need for assistance

Physical Condition – veteran or spouse must require assistance with daily living skills

Current Marital Status – veteran may be alive or passed but must married to spouse

Total Gross Income versus Medical Deduction – current income versus medical expenses

How Can Comfort Keepers® Help?
We will provide you with professional guidance while you are completing the necessary paperwork and being assessed for eligibility for the Veterans Non-Service Connected Improved Pension. While your application is being processed, Comfort Keepers can be your solution for quality in-home care. Comfort Keepers provides services such as light housekeeping, transportation, laundry, meals, assistance with bathing and grooming and medication reminders in the home, hospital or facility. All of caregivers are our employees, bonded, insured with background checks.
