According to the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), about a quarter of the nations population – approximately 70 million people –are potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members or survivors of veterans.

The VA Aid and Attendance Pension benefit, one of the many benefits available through the VA, offers eligible veterans or their surviving spouses a significant monthly pension, ranging from $1,056 to $1,949 per month, tax-free.  To be eligible, veterans must have served 90 consecutive days or more with at least one day during a wartime period and meet a few medical and financial eligibility criteria.

As part of an ongoing commitment to making eldercare more affordable, the Tomball Retirement Center is working to educate the local community about the availability of Aid and Attendance benefits. During the Tomball Retirement Center workshop, the center will be reviewing the eligibility criteria and show how thousands of families, even in cases of higher net worth, have become eligible for this benefit helping to offset the cost of the care being provided.

Tomball Retirement Center is hosting this educational workshop about VA benefits on Sept. 22 at 6 p.m. at 13415 Medical Complex Dr. The workshop is free and open to the public. Call 281-357-4843 to register and if you know someone else who could benefit from this information, bring them along. If you are unable to attend the workshop, visit www.veteransfinancial.com for more information about the benefit.
