Title: Net Worth, Asset Transfers, and Income Exclusions for Needs-Based Benefits  
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposed to amend its regulations governing entitlement to VA pension and other VA needs-based benefit programs. The proposed amendments would establish new requirements pertaining to the evaluation of net worth and asset transfers for pension purposes and identify those medical expenses that may be deducted from countable income for VA’s needs-based benefit programs. The proposed amendments would also maintain the integrity of VA's needs-based benefit programs, and clarify and address issues necessary for the consistent adjudication of pension and parents’ dependency and indemnity compensation claims. Finally, the amendments will implement statutory changes pertaining to certain pension beneficiaries who receive Medicaid-covered nursing home care.
