Many older adults have served in the Armed Forces and may be eligible for and depend on federally-funded Veteran Affairs (VA) programs and services. VA benefits may provide services associated with financial assistance and medical and hospitalization insurance coverage. VA programs are separate from other programs and may differ in eligibility requirements and service coverage.

This program will help adult children to understand Veteran Affairs programs that may benefit their aging parents so that they are more informed advocates for their aging parents’ health and medical care and service coverage.
