I used to receive VA benefits, but they stopped after my divorce. My ex-husband was already a veteran when we got married, and we didn’t finalize the divorce while he was in the military. Now that I’m not a US citizen, do I still qualify for VA benefits? I really need help with the application process.
It sounds like you might still qualify. The key thing is showing proof of your marriage to the veteran. Have you tried contacting the VA directly?
I’m not sure if being divorced affects things, but if you have proof of marriage, it might help. Have you tried reaching out to a VA office yet?
I’m not familiar with the VA process, but you can always write to a local VA office for more details. There’s one in Los Angeles I think?
It’s unfortunate but sometimes things get tricky with VA benefits after divorce. Do you know if the benefits were stopped due to your citizenship status?
You might want to double-check with the VA, but I’m guessing that if you were receiving benefits before, the marriage proof could help you restart the process.
