VETERANS HOPE CHARITY
PROPOSAL for Pass-Through or Sub-Grant

Veterans Help Veterans, Inc. IRS 501c19 Fiscal Sponsor
Veterans Hope Charity is committed to improving the lives of our American heroes, the Veterans. Through outreach and advocacy, we can make a difference!
Because of the recession many of our veterans have lost their homes, families and the ability to provide for their loved ones. It is our goal to help as many of these disadvantaged veterans as possible.
We are requesting $50,000 for start-up and working capital
From a Pass-through or Sub-Grant
Contact: Bob Martin, Volunteer, Veteran & a Senior 702-347-7040
OUR MISSION:
Veterans Hope Charity is dedicated to improving the lives of our veterans in the community by creating an environment of hope and unity. We promise to work tirelessly to improve conditions for our veterans and others in the community and affect positive changes in their lives. We affirm the importance of working together to find solutions. Veterans Hope Charity will not profit from our endeavors. We believe in fairness for all. Veterans Hope Charity will not waiver in the conviction to create a better community for our veterans and also other disadvantaged seniors.
To provide our American heroes the honor, pride and dignity they have earned, our mission is to provide our American Veterans the pride and dignity they have earned when the final bugle sounds. The VA only pays $300 (only, if they qualify), but cremation today cost $1000 and an average funeral cost $6000, and also other disadvantaged seniors during this difficult recession. SSI only pays $255.
A bit like apples and oranges, Burial Life Insurance and Final Expense Life Insurance are the same but a bit different. They are basically designed to do the same job, not leave your loved ones with the expensive burden of paying for your burial expenses, but often people need a little more than that. Let’s look at the differences:
Burial Life Insurance is what most people look for when they are concerned about being a financial burden on their loved ones and want to leave enough money to pay for all of their funeral expenses. These are usually low cost policies which are only designed to leave sufficient funds to pay all funeral costs. $4,390 Minimum
Final Expense Life Insurance is designed to do the same thing, but a little bit more so. This is generally needed to cover not only the funeral expenses, but also any other outstanding debts which may be left behind. This can include mortgages, car payments, medical expenses and anything else.
The most important thing is to make sure that whether you go for Burial Life Insurance or Final Expense Life Insurance, there is enough money left behind for your family to sort out all of your estate. It’s bad enough losing a loved one without finding yourself in financial difficulty because of it.
VA DEATH BENEFITS
Veterans buried in a private cemetery may be eligible to receive a partial reimbursement for their burial costs. For non-service related deaths, a burial expense allowance (up to $300) and a plot allowance (up to $300) may be given. In order to receive a VA burial allowance you must meet the following conditions:
Payment for the veteran’s burial was made without any reimbursement from a government agency or other source, and
The veteran was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.
In addition, at least one of the following conditions must be met:
The veteran died because of service-related disability, or
The veteran was receiving VA pension or compensation, or
The veteran died in a VA hospital or nursing home under VA contract.
In order to determine the final reimbursement amount, an “Application for Burial Benefits” (VA Form 21-530) must be submitted within two years from the date of the veteran’s permanent burial.
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits do not cover all the funeral or cremation arrangements of honorably discharged veterans.
There are certain monetary, recognition and service benefits that may be available. $300 However, reimbursement for funeral or cremation service expenses is limited, and usually only applies to veterans who:
Retire from the Armed Services, or
Were disabled due to a service-related injury, or
Died in a VA hospital or while in a nursing home under VA contract
Standard guidelines are provided as an overview, but only the VA can rule on your exact benefits.
Many military veterans assume they get much more in the way of death benefits than is actually the case. Most often, they get a burial plot in a federal cemetery and this is the extent of the benefits they’re offered. The service, flag case, coffin, vault and other expenses are not covered and fall upon the family as a financial burden. There are ways that veterans can make sure that their families don’t end up footing the entire bill for the funeral.
In most cases, the cost of a veteran’s funeral will be much more expensive than the average funeral. Ten thousand dollars is not an astronomical sum for a regular funeral. It’s not uncommon for a veteran’s funeral expenses to reach $20,000. This means that the family will need financial resources to pay for it and this is where a good burial insurance policy comes in.
SOCIAL SECURITY (SSI) DEATH BENEFITS
Social Security should be notified as soon as possible when a person dies. In most cases, the funeral director will report the person's death to Social Security. You will need to furnish the funeral director with the deceased's Social Security number so he or she can make the report.
A one-time payment of $255 can be paid to the surviving spouse if he or she was living with the deceased; or, if living apart, was receiving certain Social Security benefits on the deceased's record. If there is no surviving spouse, the payment is made to a child who is eligible for benefits on the deceased's record in the month of death.
Payment after death If you have enough credits, a one-time payment of $255 also will be made after your death. This benefit may be paid to your spouse or minor children if they meet certain requirements.
TARGET MARKET
Seniors, 63+ years old 15% of the U.S. population is over 40 Million.in 2011. It is estimated that 65+ net worth is down 15%; financial assets are down 80%.15% are living in poverty. VETERANS they deserve to go out with pride and dignity, also other disadvantaged seniors.
In the Vegas Valley there are over 50,000 Vets 15% are disadvantaged (living in poverty) 5,000 minimum are 65 year old or older (BABY BOOMERS)
GROWTH TRENDS
This eight year old industry grew from Viaticals Business, which exploded in the 1990’s with AIDS patients and other terminally ill people. From 2001 to 2005, about $10 Billion dollars’ worth of Life Insurance settlements were transacted. By 2008, that amount had doubled. Over the next decade, as the rank of Baby Boomers swell, experts predict that Life Settlement deals will top $160 Billion.
