• Veterans Health Administration (VHA): Established to fulfill the healthcare needs of those who have served in the U.S. armed forces, the VHA operates a vast network of medical centers, clinics, and other healthcare facilities nationwide. Veterans enrolled in the VHA program have access to a wide range of medical services, including primary care, specialized care, mental health services, rehabilitation, and more.
• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Social Security Disability Insurance is a federal program designed to provide financial assistance to individuals who are unable to work due to a qualifying disability. To qualify, you must meet the Social Security Administration’s definition of a disability, which generally involves having a condition expected to last at least one year or result in death. The amount of SSDI benefits is based on your work history and earnings and may also qualify you to receive Medicare.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Supplemental Security Income is a federal assistance that provides financial support to elderly, blind, or disabled individuals with limited income and resources. Eligibility for SSI is determined by factors such as your income, assets, and disability status. If you qualify for SSI, you will receive monthly cash payments to help cover basic living expenses, including food, shelter, and clothing.
