More than 37 Million older adults do not have enough money to

make ends meet. That’s 1 in 3 seniors who can’t afford to pay for

utilities, rent, medication and food.

In a country that prosperity is everywhere, why does such poverty

exist? I look around at my family to see whether such circumstance

exist. I have discover that what I often heard, I’ll GET BY, I’M DOING ALL

RIGHT, AND I’M DOING FINE has resulted in low Social Security benefits

and Individual Retirement Accounts.

Some seniors are drawing almost $3,000.00 while others are drawing

less than $1,000,00. With no retirement account it become impossible

to have a decent standard of living in the United States of American.

(NOTE: I would like to see Social Security for seniors $300.00. Funds could

come from the profit made by the Federal Reserve each year.)

Of course it’s up to the 20 million seniors to write their Senators

and Representatives to get it pass. This will not cause a tax increase

just funds that Federal Reserve earn.

Qualifying financially for VA Improved Pension with Aid and Attendance requires that asset and income tests be met.

Unfortunately, the VA does not provide “red line” asset and income limits and instead uses formulas.

Income:

To qualify for the maximum award, GROSS household income from all sources (including that of the spouse if married) must be totally consumed by Unreimbursed Medical Expenses (“UME”) which may include payments made to a family caregiver (other than the spouse).

Payments to a caregiver must be evidenced (copies of cashed checks) and an affidavit signed by both the caregiver and the care recipient indicating the type of care being provided, the frequency of the care, and the amount of compensation must be submitted.

As a previous poster suggested, payments for care to a family member may cause an issue with Medicaid eligibility and a properly drafted agreement between the family caregiver and the person providing care is recommended.

Assets:

There is no stipulated asset limit although many will incorrectly state that there is a limit of $50,000 for an individual and $80,000 for a couple.

These numbers only apply to VA internal processing and have nothing to do with qualification.

In determining an “asset limit” the VA looks at the family’s “gross estate” (essentially everything except the homestead residence, automobile and personal effects) and asks the following question:

“If the gross estate is divided by life expectancy, will the result cover reported unreimbursed medical expenses for the life of the claimant?”.

If the answer is “yes”, no award. If the answer is “no” an award may be granted.
Other matters:

A partial award may be granted which seems to be the case here. Continue reading “VETERAN/THOSE WHOM HAVE SERVED — QUALIFYING FINANCIALLY FOR IMPROVED PENSION WITH AID AND ATTENDANCE”

Will the Federal Reserve increase interest rates by 100 basis point at

their July 24-25 meeting? Global wise most nations central bank is

increasing interest rates to STALL out inflation and bring it down.

By removing trillions of dollars, euros, or what ever the nations currency

is, will remove easy credit from the economy. This will affect individuals,

families, and business. In the United States of America the Federal

Reserve has no choice because our economy will fail at double digit

inflation or prolong high inflation. Until the Federal Reserve get inflation

under control and bring it down to 2% to 3% year over year, everyone

can help reduce inflation. These five things is easy, tighten your budget,

cut spending, pay down debt, save, invest and earn additional income.

Always keeping in mind, the more you have the better off you are.
