Jim received a $100,000 lump sum settlement. The VA will annualize the lump sum for a year. This will reduce his Pension benefit. He will not be able to apply for a new pension benefit once the annualized amount has been returned to him.
Compensation
Veterans and their families may be eligible for compensation from the government for injuries sustained while serving in the military. These benefits can be in the form of a pension or disability payment. If you are considering a personal injury lawsuit or settlement on behalf of a disabled veteran, there are a few key aspects to be aware of.
If a veteran with an impairment receives a settlement or a jury award against the party responsible for their injuries and has an VA disability claim and is awarded a settlement or award, the amount of the settlement or award can be garnished off their VA payments. This kind of garnishment is subject to some restrictions. First the court must have submitted a petition to apportionment of the disability pay. Then only a certain percentage that is usually between 20 and 50% of the monthly amount may be garnished.
Another thing to note is that the compensation is dependent on a percentage of the disabled veteran's condition and not based on actual earnings earned from working. The higher a veteran's disability rating the more compensation they'll receive. The spouses and dependent children of a deceased veteran from service-related illness or injury are eligible for a specific compensation known as Dependency Indemnity Compensation.
There are a myriad of misconceptions regarding the impact that veterans' retirement benefits, disability pay and other compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs have on divorce issues involving money. These misconceptions can make divorces even more difficult for both veterans and their families.
Pension
Veterans Disability Pension (VDP) is an income tax-free benefit given to veterans disability lawsuits who have disabilities that were caused or aggravated during their service in the military. The benefit is also available to spouses who have survived and children with dependents. The pension rates are set by Congress and is determined by the amount of disability, the degree of disability, and if there are dependents. The VA has specific regulations regarding how assets are evaluated to determine eligibility for the Pension benefit. The VA will disregard the veteran's vehicle, home and personal belongings. However, the remaining non-exempt assets owned by the veteran must be less than $80.000 to demonstrate financial need.
It is a common misconception that the courts can garnish VA disability benefits to meet court-ordered child support or obligations to maintain spousal support. It is important to realize that this is not the case.
The courts can only take away a veteran's pension if they have renounced their military retired pay in order to get compensation for a disability. 38 U.S.C. Section SS5301 (a) is the statute that governs this.
This is not the case for CRSC and TDSC, as these programs were specifically designed to provide a better level of income for disabled veterans. It is also important to remember that an individual's personal injury settlement could limit their eligibility for Aid and Attendance.
SSI
Veterans who have a permanent disability and no income may be eligible for Supplemental Security Intake (SSI). This program is determined by need. A person must have low income and assets to be eligible for SSI. Some people might also be eligible to receive the VA monthly pension. The amount they receive is contingent upon the length of their service and wartime period as well as a disability rating.
Most veterans are not eligible for a Pension and Compensation benefit simultaneously. If a person is a recipient of an existing pension and is receiving disability benefits from the VA then the VA will not pay the Supplemental Security Income benefit to the person.
The VA has to report to the Social Security Administration your monthly military retirement, CRDP, or CRSC. This will nearly always increase your SSI benefit. The SSA can also calculate your SSI income based on the VA waiver benefits.
If a veteran is required to pay support pursuant to an order issued by a court the court may send the order directly to VA to garnish the retirement benefits of the military. This can occur in divorce proceedings when the retiree waives his military retired pay for VA disability benefits. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled recently in the case Howell that this practice violated federal laws.
Medicaid
A veteran who has an impairment that is connected to service may be eligible for Medicare and Medicaid benefits. He must show that he is in the look-back period, which is five years. Additionally, he needs to provide proof to prove his citizenship. He is not able to transfer assets without an amount that is fair market value but he can still keep his primary residence and a vehicle. You can also keep up to $1500 cash or the face value of the life insurance policy.
In a divorce, a judge may decide to consider the veteran's VA Disability payments as income when formulating child support and maintenance following the divorce. The reason is that numerous court decisions have confirmed the rights of family courts to use these payments to calculate support. These include rulings from Florida, Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), Wisconsin (In the case of Wojcik's marriage) and other states.
The VA disability payment is based on the severity of the condition. It is determined by a chart that ranks the severity of the condition. It could range from 10 percent to 100 percent and higher scores bringing the most money. It is also possible for a veteran to receive additional compensation for aid and attendance expenses, or monthly compensation, which is not based on a schedule but on the degree of the disability.
