How often must veterans check their eligibility for VA health care?

Veterans should confirm their eligibility for VA health care periodically, as recommended by the VA. While eligibility typically does not expire, situations such as changes in income, family size, or enrollment in other health care programs may affect a veteran's status. Therefore, it is important for veterans to review their eligibility periodically to ensure they are taking advantage of all available benefits and to maintain access to necessary health care services. This proactive approach helps veterans stay informed about their health care options and any changes that may have occurred since their last eligibility check.
