Is there a veterans id card if you don't use VA medical benefits?
VA Health Care system ID card isn't going to get you through the gate, unless there is a VA Health Care center on the installation.
Um, your son lives in housing in Texas? So he is married? His wife can come to the gate and get you a visitors pass so you don't have to wait. Some installations allow the member to call ahead and give the details over the phone, and then when you arrive you just present your information and they give you the visitors pass then, without the sponsor actually being present.
SPC. Hartsell, you can go to the VA Hospital to get your VA ID card, you must pass your MEANS test for that, even though you have insurance you can still use the VA hospital any where across the USA.
The Means test will let you know how much copay you will have to pay if need to.
If you had a VA Card before, and rejected the VA by having them take you out of the system, then you will have to attempt to discuses that with them, because once your out , your out. The VA will let you know what you will need to get your VA Card.
If you have 100% Disability service connected you will not need to pay copay
There's no longer a need to carry your income information with you. When you apply for benefits thru the VA they will contact the IRS to determine whether you need to make a co-pay.
In fact, you no longer need to go to the VA to apply for benefits. Simply go to the VA website and look up the 1010EZ form (that's the ten ten Echo Zulu form for you occifers). I beleive you can ignore the requirement for finance info....but if I'm wrong, don't be shy about notifying me. Another alternative is to go to any VFW and ask for a Veteran's Service Officer (VSO). For that matter just about any veterans organization (DAV, American Legion, Fleet Reserve Association, etc.) will either have a VSO or know where and how to find one. Actually, the easiest way to find your local VSO is to go to any VFW website. Most of them have a phone number to contact someone in need. I don't know your particular situation, but as previously noted, VA health care meets the ACA (Obama Care) requirements - even with a co-pay.
