Home Instead has partnered with the VetAssist program in order to provide aid and assistance for members of our community who have served. The VetAssist program can be an excellent way to help our community's veterans receive the support and financial aid needed. Refer to the below qualifications to see if you are eligible. 

Do You Meet the “3-Ms” to Qualify?

To qualify for the VetAssist Program and the VA pension with Aid and Attendance, a veteran or veteran’s surviving spouse will need to meet the following criteria:

1) Military: Are you a veteran or the surviving spouse of a veteran who served at least 90 days on active duty, at least one day during wartime, with an honorable or general discharge? (Persian Gulf War veterans must have two years of active duty or the full period for which they were called for active duty.)

2) Medical: Do you have a non-service connected medical condition causing you to need assistance with activities of daily living?

3) Money: Do you have a net worth at or less than $150,538 ? (VA net worth limit established by Congress 12.2022) A primary residence and auto are not counted as part of net worth. Ongoing non-reimbursable medical and long-term care expenses may reduce your countable income.

• World War II:  December 7, 1941-December 31, 1946
• Korean Conflict: June 27, 1950-January 31, 1955
