AMVETS

National Service Officers
"One of the most important services AMVETS offers to veterans
of all eras, is direct representation when they file for benefits
with the VA. At no cost to the veteran, an AMVETS National Service
Officer will sit down with a veteran, review his or her records
and help them navigate the complex process of filing claims and
appeals to VA. Often AMVETS service officers are conveniently located
at VA Regional Offices. Again, this is a 100% FREE service."

Senior
Veterans Service Alliance - State Veterans Homes
The second most common reason reported to us why veterans seek out
state homes is for financial reasons. In many states the cost of the
home is subsidized for veterans who meet an income test. The vet's
income is considered sufficient to cover the cost. These veterans
may own a home or other assets that they wish to protect from Medicaid
and leave to their family. The state veterans home will allow them
to give these assets to the family without penalty. Medicaid would
require a spend down of those assets or impose a penalty for gifting.

California
Department of Veterans' Affairs |
Veterans'
Home of Chula Vista
No veteran will be denied admission due to a lack of income. For those
veterans who have income, state law requires that they pay a percentage
of their income as member fees. Member fees help reduce the amount
of state tax dollars needed to operate CalVet Homes, thus allowing
the California Department of Veterans Affairs to care for a greater
number of veterans. Regardless of fee calculations, residents shall
retain $165.00/month.
