I am an enrolled veteran. Can my spouse elect to be covered under my VA benefits instead of a Medicare Prescription Drug plan?
A spouse of an enrolled veteran can obtain VA benefits only if the spouse is a qualified veteran herself or himself. A spouse must determine whether enrollment in a Medicare Prescription Drug plan is a good idea without regard to the enrolled veteran’s status. Spouses covered by CHAMPVA should contact CHAMPVA for information at 800-733-8387 or visit their web site at http://www.va.gov/hac/forbeneficiaries/.
