Under certain circumstances a veteran (or his surviving spouse) may qualify for benefits for long term care under a program that is similar to Medicaid. The program called VA Pension Benefits provides a monthly benefit payment to cover the costs of long term care if the veteran meets the following basic criteria for eligibility:

1) the veteran served at least one day during a War Time Period;

2) the veteran served 90 consecutive days on Active Duty;

3) the veteran received a discharge characterization as other than dishonorable;

4) the veteran has limited income and assets; and

5) the veteran is permanently and totally disabled.
