How will I know if I’m eligible for assistance to purchase health insurance outside of VA?
VA can’t make this determination. If you use the Marketplace, you will find out if you can get lower costs on your monthly premiums for private health insurance plans. Remember, if you are a veteran enrolled in (or are a beneficiary of) a VA health care program, you don’t need to take additional steps to meet the health coverage requirements under the health care law.
