CHAMPVA

An eligible CHAMPVA sponsor may be entitled to receive medical care through the VA health care system based on his or her own veteran status. Additionally, as the result of a recent policy change, if the eligible CHAMPVA sponsor is the spouse of another eligible CHAMPVA sponsor, both may now be eligible for CHAMPVA benefits. In each instance where the eligible spouse requires medical attention, he or she may choose the VA health care system or coverage under CHAMPVA for his/her health care needs. If you have been previously denied CHAMPVA benefits and you believe you would now be qualified, please apply following the guidelines as listed on the “How to apply” section.

CHAMPVA eligibility can be impacted by changes such as marriage, divorce from the sponsor, or eligibility for Medicare or TRICARE. Changes in status should be reported immediately.

How to Apply for CHAMPVA Benefits

Once you provide all of the required and optional documents, and your application is complete, it takes CHAMPVA approximately six weeks after receiving your package until you receive your CHAMPVA identification card and related materials.

If you provide only the required documents, and not the optional documents, processing can take two to eight months to confirm information with other federal agencies.

Once CHAMPVA receives your application, they will review to be sure it is complete, and all the required forms are included. If your application is not complete, CHAMPVA will return it to you with further instructions. For additional information refer to Fact Sheet 01-03: Instructions for CHAMPVA Applicants.

CHAMPVA and Medicare Work Together

CHAMPVA is always the last payer after Medicare and any other health insurance (OHI). An exception to this is when you reside or travel overseas. When that is the case, if you meet all eligibility criteria, CHAMPVA will be the primary payer (unless you have other health insurance) until you return to the U.S.
