ESTATE PLANNING TO MAXIMIZE THE BENEFITS OF WARTIME VETERANS
Spouses can receive the maximum benefits. If you are a wartime veteran, it is important that you understand the dfferent benefits that may be available to you.
It is possible for you to apply for a variety of different benefits about which you might be unaware. As a wartime veteran, you may be eligible for benefits to pay for long-term care, assisted living, home care, nursing home care and others. It may also be important for you to conduct estate planning to make certain that you will be eligible for Medi-Cal in the event you have to go to a nursing home.
