Am I eligible for Health Health Care for Veterans in Massachusetts?

The eligibility criteria for the VA health care system are complicated. In general, you must have served in the active military, naval, air service, Reserves, or National Guard and must have been honorably discharged. However, your income, assets, and health status (including level of disability, if any) are also considered in the determination of eligibility for VA benefits. There are 8 different enrollment priority groups. Eligibility for VA health benefits varies from veteran to veteran, depending on each veteran’s unique characteristics and eligibility factors. Depending on your eligibility status, you may be eligible for free health care services, or you may be required to pay a copayment for health care you receive from the VA system. In addition, some veterans’ benefits are available to family members of veterans as well.
