Financial support for caregivers

Do you provide ongoing care for a Veteran with significant health needs? If you provide this care without financial compensation, we may be able to provide you with a tax-free monthly benefit.

About this program

Are you providing daily home care for a veteran with a disability? The Caregiver Recognition Benefit recognizes the important role a daily caregiver brings to the well-being of a Veteran by providing an unpaid caregiver with a tax free, monthly benefit.


Do you qualify?

As a caregiver, you may qualify for this benefit if:

  • you are over the age of 18,
  • not being paid to provide care for the Veteran, and
  • are an essential part of the Veterans ongoing care.
