GAPC EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

Presented by Elizabeth P. Allen, JD, LLM - Elder Law Attorney & Shareholder, Gibbons | Neuman

This presentation pertains to the VA’s program for certain ”war time” Veterans and their surviving spouses who are in need of long term care services and a source for payment for those services. The program does not require a service connected injury or illness. The applicant must meet medical and asset/income criteria. The presentation will focus on the basics of the program: the definition of a “wartime veteran” and the medical and financial criteria for eligibility.
