Active-Duty Service Members And VA Health Care | Veterans Affairs
You were discharged or released from active service on or after January 29, 2003, and
You didn’t receive a dishonorable discharge

We’ll use the documents listed below to determine your service in a theater of combat operations:

Military service documentation that reflects service in a combat theater, or
Receipt of combat service medals, or
Receipt of combat tax exemption, imminent danger, or hostile fire pay

 Benefits of enhanced eligibility 
 

If you qualify for enhanced eligibility as an OEF/OIF/OND combat Veteran:
We’ll enroll you right away. We’ll assign you to priority group 6, unless you qualify for a higher priority group based on your income or a service-connected disability. Learn more about priority groups
You’ll receive free care and medications for any condition that may be related to your combat service. You may need to pay copays for care and medications that we determine are clearly not related to your military service, but you can submit your income as part of your application to apply for a copay exemption. Learn more about how we determine your health care costs Review current copay rates
You’ll stay enrolled in VA health care even after your OEF/OIF/OND enhanced eligibility period ends. We’ll reassign you to the highest priority group you qualify for at that time.

 Eligibility for VA dental care 
 

You may be eligible for one-time dental care for any needed conditions. Be sure to apply within 180 days of discharge or separation. You may also qualify for VA dental care based on other factors. 
Find out if you may be eligible for VA dental care

Eligibility after separation
If you're a Veteran who's recently separated from active duty, including active National Guard or Reserve duty, you may be eligible for VA health care for all or some of your health care needs. We’ll determine your eligibility based on your service history, VA disability rating, income, and other factors. If you had active-duty status for training purposes only, you don’t qualify for VA health care.Learn more about VA health care eligibility

VBA embracing organizational transformation to enhance customer experience - VA News
In 2021, the Veterans Benefits Administration’s (VBA), Office of Human Capital Services (HCS), was faced with the imminent passage of the PACT Act, the largest expansion of health care and benefits in VA history. The passage of the PACT Act required increasing VBA’s workforce to the largest number in its history, and a significant shift in the way VBA approached, delivered and enhanced the customer experience. It also created an opportunity for VBA to improve its hiring practices and redesign the marketing and outreach efforts to fill critical vacancies nationwide.
As VBA’s overarching Human Resources (HR) office, HCS would be responsible for hiring thousands of new employees nationwide to carryout VBA’s mission as claims processors, administrative specialists, and in other key support services—ensuring that VBA had the right people in the right positions with the proper skills to provide the benefits and services that Veterans deserve.
Hiring the right people
In response to the PACT Act, HCS’s executive leadership team—led by Dr. Aaron M. Lee, executive director—prioritized transforming VBA into an organizational center of excellence for human capital delivery. Over the past two and a half years, HCS has revolutionized human capital delivery across VBA while focusing on being a customer-centric organization. This included maximizing all hiring options and programs for recruitment, relocation, and retention of candidates and employees, actively implementing targeted recruitment and marketing campaigns; using a combination of Direct Hiring Authorities and targeted marketing to recruit interns, recent graduates, post-secondary students, Veterans and military spouses; and increasing outreach with Educational Institutions and special emphasis groups.
HCS made marketing and outreach a priority by partnering with local and underserved communities and using a combination of targeted job announcements in key cities, as well as open and continuous announcements nationwide to help build a large pool of qualified applicants. This included partnering with VA Careers to promote current vacancies and to tap into their robust following across all social media platforms, allowing their followers to learn more about a rewarding career at VBA and share it within their networks.
When it came to the PACT Act, VBA adapted this growth mindset to implement best practices and develop new strategies to streamline hiring and improve retention.

Past Rates: 2023 VA Survivors Pension Benefit Rates | Veterans Affairs
MAPRs are adjusted each year for cost-of-living increases. You can find your current MAPR amount using the tables below.

Example: You’re a qualified surviving spouse with one dependent child. You also qualify for Aid and Attendance benefits. Your yearly income is $10,000.
Your MAPR amount = $20,509
Your yearly income = $10,000
Your VA pension = $10,509 for the year (or $875 paid each month)

 What’s the net worth limit to be eligible for Survivors Pension benefits?
 

From December 1, 2022, to November 30, 2023, the net worth limit to be eligible for Survivors Pension benefits is $150,538.
On October 18, 2018, we changed the way we assess net worth to make the pension entitlement rules clearer. Net worth includes your assets and annual income. When you apply for Survivors Pension benefits, you’ll need to report all of your assets and income.
Note: If your child’s net worth is more than the net worth limit, we don’t consider them to be a dependent when we determine your pension.
Read our definitions below:
Assets
Assets include the fair market value of all your real and personal property, minus the amount of any mortgages you may have. “Real property” means any land and buildings you may own. Your personal property assets include any of these items:

Investments (like stocks and bonds)
Furniture
Boats

Assets don’t include:

Your primary residence (the home where you live most or all of the time)
Your car
Basic home items like appliances that you wouldn’t take with you if you moved to a new house

Read more about how we define "assets"
Annual income
Annual income is the money earned in a year from a job or from retirement or annuity payments. It includes any of these:

Salary or hourly pay
Bonuses
Commissions
Overtime
Tips

We’ll subtract certain expenses from your annual income when we assess net worth. We call these applicable deductible expenses. They include:

Educational expenses
Me - Whole Health
Recharge
Family, Friends & Co-workers
Spirit & Soul
Power of the Mind
