Mandatory eligibility is given to the following Veterans:
- Veterans who need nursing home care for their service-connected disabilities
- Veterans who are rated 70 percent service-connected or more

If space and resources are available, other Veterans may be considered.
Certain Veterans must complete VA Form 10-10EC, Application for Extended Care Services at the time of placement to determine their VA copayment responsibility.
Program Requirements
To begin with, you are encouraged to enroll in the VA health care system (or qualify based on one of the exceptions in the law). Go to “Medical Benefits Package” to see the program requirements.
