Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
No, the VA does not have insurance for spouses. The two Vets I know use the VA for their needs and the wives have to pay for their own suppliments. Both men fought in Viet Nam.
You can call your County VA office to see what you can get. Have ur husbands discharge info handy.
TRICARE is the health insurance program for military families, retirees and survivors included. Take the eligibility quiz at https://tricare.mil/Plans to see which would suit.
Call your local VA office.. They will give you best direction. Or make an appointment and go see them in person. Or , speak with a licensed ( competent ) Social Worker who may be able to get some answers for you....
My Mother collected Veterans benefits in the form of a check each month and had insurance and drug coverage (CHAMPVA) through the VA. The situation was a bit different ..my Dad was in WW 2 and was a POW. He never received any benefits and died at 66. But I was able to get them for her. She just passed away at 103. The extra money each month allowed her to stay in her home. We are most grateful to the VA
Contact the VA administration. If one department doesn't know, call another. Sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is going. Ask to get everything in writing.
I've found some of my answers on VA website (when staff, even managers, do not know). Still. Ask for verification in writing.
My father passed away in 1998 from a war related cancer. My mom was able to get monthly widows compensation and health insurance through Champ VA. When she turned 65 she had to apply for Medicare and use Champ VA as her secondary. It wouldn’t hurt to call Champ VA to see what she is entitled to.
The short answer is no, but possibly. I’m a vet and do vet benefits. There are exceptions. If the veteran was 100% service-connected at the time of death, the surviving spouse should be able to get Tricare (as a secondary) plus the DIC pension. If the vet was retired military, depending on how they set up paperwork while active, the spouse could get benefits as well. Surviving spouses may be eligible for Aid & Attendance, but that’s not health insurance. Without knowing any specifics, the spouse should call the local Vet Center or VSO (Veteran Service Officer) so that they can give the veterans’ info and they can advise. Always worth a shot!
Tricare is the health insurance. My spouse is retired from the National Guard, he was in for 20 years. We were just married last year but I still qualify. I had to first get a military spouse ID. Then they put me on his Tricare plan effective back to the date of our marriage. I can use it like any other health insurance at my own doctor's office. I do not have to go to a VA facility. Keep in mind this is not FREE. It works like other health insurance plans, but it pays as well as standard insurance plans and costs MUCH less.
I think though once you turn 65 the Tricare stops, Medicare becomes your primary Insurance. If this is the case then coverage would depend upon the age of the spouse that "pugranch" is asking about.
