There are 9.2 million veterans still living that served in World War II, Korea or Vietnam. These soldiers and their surviving spouses may be eligible for the Department of Veterans Affairs' Aid and Attendance Pension, which offers a monthly tax-free benefit ranging from $1,153 to $2,127 per month toward the cost of senior care.
Veterans Financial is the Senior Living Industry's leading provider of information about the Aid & Attendance Pension benefit.
The workshop will review the eligibility criteria and show how thousands of families, even in cases of higher net worth, have become eligible for this benefit.
Those unable to attend the workshop can visit www.VeteransFinancial.com or call (800) 835-1541.
