The VA doesn't fully cover assisted living, but you can combine the A&A funds and your personal funds to manage costs.
What Benefits Do Veterans Get in Nebraska?
In Nebraska, for veteran support programs, there's the Nebraska Veterans Aid Fund you can utilize for emergencies. There are also property tax exemptions for disabled veterans or surviving spouses, so that's helpful if you'd like to own property still while you're in an assisted living community.
In addition, Veterans Service Officers (VSOs) can assist with applications and benefit coordination.
