By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

I think you need to go to your VA office. There is a lot of conflicting info on-line. It seems to depend on if your divorced, how long u were married. 10 yrs seems to be the minimum but, he has to be in the service for those 10 years. I read that like any pension, it has to be negotiated at time of divorce. I also thought that once the military person dies, so does the pension. You will probably need his discharge papers, marriage certificate, divorce if there was one, death certificate if a widow. The more info u have, the faster things will go. If you r divorced, then u probably aren't entitled to anything. But, you won't know until you try.
The exception might be if he/she died and left you a widow/widower . (and there was no remarriage)
The best way to know for sure would be to contact your County Veterans Assistance Commission or your State's Department of Veterans' Affairs. You could also contact the VA.
I Googled some info and I suggest you do the same but not sure if this will help..it might be worth a try if you can verify info:
Question I found is:
"Who qualifies for spousal VA benefits?
If you are the surviving spouse, dependent child, or family caregiver of a Veteran or service member, you may qualify for health care benefits . In certain cases, you may also qualify for health care benefits due to a disability related to your Veteran's service. Find out if you qualify and how to apply.

(What I Googled to get to this info was "can a divorced spouse get va benefits".)
