Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America

Senior Veterans · Illinois · Free

IAVA — services and advocacy for post-9/11 veterans. Worth contacting before nursing home placement — VA may cover a portion that Medicaid won't. VA healthcare enrollment is a separate process from VA pension — both should be applied for if eligible. VA pension and Medicaid can be coordinated — talk to an elder law attorney to maximize both without disqualifying either. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
