Are you a veteran or spouse worried about paying for long-term care? Get the most out of your VA benefits so you can afford the care you need and deserve.
Even if you’ve planned for retirement, assisted living, skilled nursing care, and at-home care can be expensive. With VA programs like pension, aid and attendance, housebound allowance, and compensation, the care you or your spouse needs can become more affordable.
Talk to a representative from your local Veterans Affairs office or Veterans Service office to make sure you’re maximizing your retirement benefits. They can help you understand what services you are eligible for, connect you with other resources in the community, and make navigating application processes easier for you.
It’s never too late to start planning and saving for retirement, but the earlier you start the better. The military even has financial planners available to you if you’re still serving. Be sure to take advantage of the benefits available to you while you’re active duty and as a veteran so you can afford to retire when you want.
