VA’s Medical Care Hardship Program

Are you a Veteran with a financial hardship? In-between Jobs?
The Veterans Administration’s Medical Hardship program may help you qualify for VA Health Care enrollment!

If your income has recently changed, you may qualify for enrollment even if it was denied previously based on your household income. Or, perhaps you have put off applying for enrollment because you think your income is too high. Now may be the time to provide updated financial information or apply for enrollment.

Personal circumstances such as loss of employment, sudden decrease in income, or increases in out-of-pocket family health care expenses factor into VA’s hardship determination.

If your current and projected financial situation puts you below the VA Means Test Threshold or Geographic Means Test Threshold for this area, you may qualify for enrollment and cost-free VA medical care.

For additional information and qualifications for this program, contact the County Veterans Service Office at 740-942-8441 for an appointment.
