Compensation
Veterans and their families could be eligible for compensation from the government for injuries suffered during military. These benefits could be the form of a disability or pension. There are a few key things to keep in mind when considering a personal injury lawsuit or settlement for a disabled veteran.
If a veteran suffering from a disability receives a settlement or a jury award against the person who is at fault for their injuries and also has an VA disability claim and the amount of that settlement or award may be taken out of the VA payments. This kind of garnishment comes with some restrictions. First, a court petition must be filed for the apportionment. Only a small portion of between 20% and 50% of the monthly amount can be garnished.
It is important to note that compensation is not based on the actual earnings of a veteran instead, it is based on the percentage. The higher the disability score, the more the compensation they'll receive. The dependent children and spouses of a veteran who passed away from injury or illness related to service are eligible for a special indemnity called Dependency Compensation.
There are many misconceptions about the effect that veterans' retirement benefits, disability pay and other compensations from the Department of Veterans Affairs have on divorce money issues. These misconceptions can cause a difficult divorce even more difficult for veterans and their families.
Pensions
Veterans Disability Pension (VDP) is an untaxed monetary benefit given to veterans who have disabilities that developed or aggravated during their military service. It is also available to the surviving spouses and dependent children. The pension rate is set by Congress and is determined by the amount of disability, the extent of disability, as well as if there are any dependents. The VA has regulations that define how assets are calculated in order to determine eligibility for Pension benefits. The VA will not take into consideration the veteran's vehicle, home and personal possessions. However, the remaining assets that are not exempted by the veteran must not exceed $80.000 to show financial need.
There is a common misconception that the courts could garnish VA disability payments to accomplish court-ordered child or spousal support obligations. It is important to note that this is not true.
The courts are only able to garnish the pension of a veteran when they have waived military retired pay to obtain compensation for disability. The law that governs this is 38 U.S.C SS5301(a).
It is important to know that this doesn't apply to CRSC or TDSC pay, as these programs are specifically designed to provide higher levels of income for disabled veterans. It is also important to remember that any personal injury settlement for veterans disability law firms may reduce their eligibility for aid and attendance.
SSI
Veterans who have an ongoing disability and have no income might be eligible for Supplemental Security Intake (SSI). This program is determined by need. A person must have a low income and assets to be eligible for SSI. Some can also receive a monthly pension payment from the VA. The amount will depend on the duration of their service as well as the wartime period as well as a disability rating.
Most veterans disability lawyers do not qualify to receive both Compensation and Pension benefits at the same time. If a person has an income pension and receives a disability payment from the VA, the VA will not pay the Supplemental Security Income benefit to the person.
The VA is required to submit your monthly military retirement, CRDP or CRSC to the Social Security Administration (SSA). This will nearly always increase your SSI benefit. The SSA can also determine your SSI income based on the VA waiver benefits.
If a judge orders a veteran to pay support ordered by the court and the court has the authority to go directly to the VA and request that the military retirement slashed to pay for this reason. This could be the case in divorce cases where the retiree has to give up their military retired pay in exchange for their VA disability payments. The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled in the case of Howell that this practice was in violation of federal law.
Medicaid
A veteran with a disability resulting from service can qualify for Medicare and Medicaid benefits. He must prove that he is in the look-back period of five years. Also, he must provide documentation to prove his citizenship. He cannot transfer his assets without a fair value but can keep one vehicle and his primary residence. He can keep up to $1500 in cash or the face amount of a life-insurance policy.
In a divorce the judge could decide that the veteran's VA disability benefits can be considered income for the purposes of calculation of post-divorce child custody and maintenance. The reason for this is that numerous court decisions have confirmed the rights of family courts in using these payments to calculate support. These include decisions from Florida, Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), Wisconsin (In the case of Wojcik's Marriage) and other states.
The amount of the VA disability compensation depends on the degree of the service-connected illness. It is based on an index that evaluates the severity of the condition. It can range between 10 percent to 100 percent. More favorable ratings will earn more money. It is also possible for a veteran to receive additional compensation for attendance and aid expenses, or special monthly compensation that is not based on a calendar but upon the severity of the disability.
