Program:

It’s one of the most underused VA benefits—but over 1.5 million veterans and survivors may be eligible. In this episode, we’re demystifying the Wartime Non-Service-Connected (NSC) Pension. Learn how age, income, assets, and unreimbursed medical expenses can qualify you (or a loved one) for monthly tax-free payments, even if you never filed for VA compensation.

We’ll also cover how pension interacts with Medicaid, look-back periods, and how to use it while waiting for a compensation claim.

Main Topics to Cover:

  • Who qualifies for Wartime NSC Pension (Veterans & Survivors)

  • Income and Asset Limits: What counts, what doesn’t

  • Using out-of-pocket medical expenses to qualify

  • Medicaid $90 stipend

  • Look-back periods, quitclaim deeds, and trusts

  • Pension vs. Compensation

  • Reinstating a dropped pension

A welcoming home for our Troops.

Welcoming home our men and women doesn't end after the crowd disperses, it MUST continue on for the life of the Veteran! They've served us, now we will serve them with programs that work so they reintegrate into society.

The SWVBRC enlists the support of members of local Communities like you to increase Veteran awareness of the value of obtaining a VA card and receiving earned benefits.

Sponsorships, donations, volunteers and support from communities like yours enable us to reach out to Veterans and empower them to transition back into successful, productive enterprises that ultimately benefit all Americans and support future generations.
