Special veterans benefits are monthly payments made under title VIII
of the Social Security Act to certain veterans of World War II who
reside outside the United States.
To receive Special Veterans Benefits (SVB), you must:
- Be age 64 or older on December 14, 1999, the date the law was enacted;
- Be a World War II veteran (This includes Filipino veterans of World War II who served
in the organized military forces of the Philippines while the forces were in the service
of the U.S. forces, or served in organized guerrilla forces under the auspices of the
U.S. military);
- Be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for December 1999, the
month the law was enacted;
- File an application for SVB;
- Be eligible for SSI benefits for the month in which you file an application for these
new benefits; and have other benefit income that is less than 75 percent of the SSI
Federal benefit rate.
For 2009, 75 percent of the SSI Federal benefit rate was $505.50; for 2010, the SSI Federal benefit rate remains unchanged.
If you meet all of these requirements, you can receive SVB for each month you reside outside the United States on the first day of the month. For SVB purposes, you are outside the United States if you are not in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, or the Northern Mariana Islands.
Differences between VA Benefits and SSI
Although you must be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to qualify for Special Veterans Benefits (SVB), SVB is not an SSI benefit. They are separate benefit programs that have different qualifying requirements.
