Eligibility

• Applicant must be a veteran

Questions to ask the program

These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.

• Does the person receiving care live in Utah? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
• Does your relationship to the person — other relative — count for this program?
• Does the veteran’s service history and discharge status fit this program’s rules?
• Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
• What documents do you need from us to start an application?
• Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
