Basic Training: How to Make the Most of your Veterans' Benefits
In this episode, a recording of a special virtual seminar given in honor of Veterans Day 2020 and all of the brave veterans out there, Attorney Brittany Smith and Long-Term Care Planner Tammy Zilske aim to help them achieve their mission of unlocking the full potential of their VA benefits. Topics discussed include eligible wartimes and available benefits for spouses, how to access the three levels of monthly pension, income and net worth limits (which isn't the same as your standard net worth) including the maximum annual pension rate, utilizing VA benefits to pay for nursing home care, the three-year VA look back and other gifting guidelines, and more.
If you are a veteran that may be eligible for VA benefits now or in the future or are currently receiving them or plan to in the future, this is an episode for you.
