WWII Veterans eligible for no-cost VA care

The VA announced in November that all World War II Veterans are now eligible for no-cost VA inpatient and outpatient health care. Under this expansion, all WWII Veterans who served between Dec. 7, 1941, and Dec. 31, 1946, are now eligible for VA health care, regardless of their length of service or financial status. These Veter-
ans will not have to pay inpatient or outpatient copays, enrollment fees, or monthly premiums.

Veterans who enroll may also keep their private providers, Medicare, and most other insurance to meet their care needs.

Veterans who were not approved for VA health care in the past due to income limits should apply again; income levels no longer apply due to this expansion.

VA cannot automatically enroll Veterans in health care; WWII Veterans must apply for VA health care if they are not currently enrolled. Visit www.va.gov/health-care/how-to-apply/ for more information and to apply.
