Michigan Merchant Marines May Qualify as Veterans

Serafini, Michalowski, Derkacz & Associates

Many deserving veterans are often overlooked when considering VA benefits to assist with the cost of long term care. Specifically, Merchant Marines, serving during World War II may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance. During Worl War II, Merchant Marines took up arms to assist in the Pacific and Atlantic to support Allied forces and to ensure that precious cargo and supplies continued during the Period of Armed Conflict, December 7, 1941, to August 15, 1945.

Michigan Merchant Marines serving during this time, can qualify for the same VA benefits that are available to their United States Navy brethren. Such benefits can provide up to:

$2,120.00 per month for a married veteran $1,788.00 per month for a single veteran $1,149.00 per month for a surviving spouse
These benefits can be sued to provide for home care, assisted living or full nursing care. To find out more about these benefits, please call SMDA, P.C. at 1-866-529-3537; or, (586) 264-3756; or, (616) 931-3670. If you do not immediately qualify to receive these benefits, you can, through planning.
