Who is eligible for CHAMPVA benefits?

Eligibility for CHAMPVA (Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs) benefits is specifically granted to certain groups connected to veterans. The correct answer highlights that veterans who are 100% disabled or have service-connected injuries qualify for this program. CHAMPVA provides health care coverage to the dependents of these veterans, emphasizing the program's focus on supporting those who have suffered significant impairments due to their military service.

This coverage is designed to ensure that qualifying veterans can pass on health benefits to their spouses and children, reinforcing the commitment to care for those who have rendered service to the nation and may require additional support due to their disabilities.

Other options describe groups that do not meet the criteria for CHAMPVA. Active-duty service members are covered under a different program, and individuals without any prior military service or retired service members alone without the context of their disability status do not qualify for CHAMPVA. This specificity in eligibility ensures that the program is targeted towards those who have a demonstrable need due to their service-connected conditions.
