VA Central California Health Care System
|
Eligibility and Enrollment The Department of Veterans Affairs has promoted new eligibility rules that provide both Active and Reserve Component personnel who served in designated combat zones (since November 11, 1998) with 2 years of free care from the date of separation from active duty. This includes Reservists or National Guard members who have been activated for federal duty and now have "veteran status."
All veterans must apply to receive VA health care benefits. You can apply for VA health care by completing VA form 1010EZ. This form may be obtained by visiting, calling or writing any VA health care facility or veterans’ benefits office. You can also access the form on the Internet at http://www.va.gov/1010ez.htm or call the VA Healthcare Eligibility Center at 877-222-VETS (8387).
