As far as I know, there is a strict limit as to how much money you can earn and still receive 100 percent disability. I have heard that even working a part time job could put you over the limit. This goes for anyone rated 100 percent or anyone at 60 percent or higher who has been classified as "unemployable."

What are the benefits for a spouse of 100 percent disabled veteran?

the spouse has no entitlement to the veterans benefits (the post states that the spouse has no entitelment to the veterans benefits) the spouse is entitled to education benefits, ChampVa medical, the life insurance paid by the VA, the spouse would be beneficiary (if was chosen) if the veteran passes due to the disability caused by service connection then there are pay benefits. So, whoever answered this in the first place did a horrible job. There are benefits to the spouse. Look them up on the VA web site, easy to find. Or call your local VA office. Horrible answer! Mine is not complete but gives you some idea, that there are benefits for the spouse, not necessarily the veterans benefits but your own.

Can a spouse of a veteran be buried in Jefferson National Cemetery for free?

If a veteran chooses to be buried in a veterans cemetery, her or his spouse may be buried next to that veteran, with tombstone engraving and perpetual care provided, all at no cost to the family. Note, however, that the burial of a veteran's spouse MUST be next to the veteran. If a veteran chooses not to be buried in a veterans cemetery (the choice my father made, for example), then the spouse (in this case, my mother, who was never in the military) can not seek burial in a veterans cemetery, and certainly not for free.


When can a spouse of a veteran collecting monthly pension also collect an portion of his pension?

Not until the veteran dies. The pension is the property of the veteran, NOT their spouse. While the veteran is alive, the spouse would not have any monetary claim on the veterans pension unless they divorced. Only then would she be able to make a claim on a percentage of his pension payment.

Is veterans affairs disability used for child support in Florida?

United States Code, Title 38, Section 5301, Non assignability and exempt status of benefits, reads in part;Payment of benefits due or to become due under any law administered by the secretary shall not be assignable except to the extent specifically authorized by the law, and such payments made to, or on a account, of a beneficiary shall be exempt from taxation, shall be exempt from the claim of creditors, and shall not be liable to attachment, levy, or seizure by or under any legal or equitable process whatsoever, either before or after receipt by the beneficiary.It is my understanding that a veteran's service-connected disability compensation is intended to financially compensate a military veteran disabled in the line of duty. This compensation is not an asset or property and should not be used to calculate a veterans net worth. Disability compensation is awarded to a veteran that has lost some/all physical or mental ability to work, or maintain a daily routine. Veteran's disability compensation is tax exempt and is not classified "income" by the IRS. VA disability compensation is non-transferable and cannot be awarded to a third party under any legal process whatsoever. Even after the veteran has deposited these funds into their personal bank account they are federally protected from attachment or seizure. Disability compensation belongs solely to the disabled veteran that has suffered the disability and therefore should not be used to calculate income.VA monetary benefit entitlements with are generally based on either the veterans disability or wartime service from service-connected injury or disease. Compensation is generally not considered remuneration (payment) for employment.However, the Social Security Act and the statutes governing benefit payment by the Department of Veterans Affairs do provide for processes by which dependents may obtain financial support from veterans' benefits under certain circumstances. Department of Veterans Affairs has issued regulations pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 5307 that provide for an apportionment of VA benefits between the veteran and his/her dependents under certain circumstances. VA regulations at 38 CFR Section 3.450(a)(1)(ii) provide that, if the veteran is not residing with his or her spouse, or if the veteran's children are not residing with the veteran and the veteran is not reasonably discharging his or her responsibility for the spouse's or children's support, all or any part of the veteran's pension, compensation, or emergency officers' retirement pay may be apportioned.I would look for a organization call "Operation Firing for Effect" They are fighting to support Veterans rights and have been dealing with such cases. Their website is http://www.offe2008.org/. I hope that answers your question.

NoBenefits and refunds payable by pension or retirement funds are exempt and not subject to deduction orders. 735 ILCS 5/12-804. See also the exemptions listed in the section below for non-wage garnishments.735 ILCS 5/12-1006 exempts a debtor's interest in pensions, annuities, benefits, distributions, refunds of contributions or other payments under certain retirement plans.

How can the wife of a disabled veteran use his 10-point preference when applying for a government job?

www.opm.gov is awesome to find answers regarding applying for government jobs. Also, contact the local military base and speak with the Civilian Employment Office. There is a form that you fill out in order to get veterans preference as either the veteran or the spouse of a veteran. The OPM site wasnt running properly or I would include some links. www.usajobs.com also has some helpful information and links. Hope that helps.
