Eligibility Definitions
Service-connected condition/disability – refers to a VA determination that a veteran's illness or
injury was incurred or aggravated while on active duty in military service and resulted in some degree
of disability.
Sponsor – refers to the veteran upon whom CHAMPVA eligibility for the applicant is based.
Spouse – Refers to a wife/husband or widow(er) of an eligible CHAMPVA sponsor - If the spouse
remarries prior to age 55, CHAMPVA benefits end on the date of the remarriage. Effective February 4,
2003, if the spouse remarries on or after age 55, CHAMPVA benefits continue. Additionally, in some
instances, a remarried surviving spouse whose remarriage is either terminated by death, divorce or
annulment is CHAMPVA eligible when supported by a copy of the appropriate documentation (death
certificate/divorce decree/annulment certification).
Child – Includes legitimate, adopted, illegitimate, and stepchildren. To be eligible, the child must be
unmarried and: 1) under the age of 18; or 2) who, before reaching age 18, became permanently
incapable of self-support as rated by a VA regional office; or 3) who, after reaching age 18 and
continuing up to age 23, is enrolled in a full-time course of instruction at an approved educational
institution---school certification required (see below).
NOTE: Except for stepchildren, the eligibility of children is not affected by divorce or remarriage of the
spouse or surviving spouse.
School Certification
In order to extend CHAMPVA benefits to students age 18 to 23, school certification of full-time
enrollment must be submitted by the college, vocational or high school, etc. Student status for
CHAMPVA purposes is established up to a full school term based on the initial enrollment letter from
the accredited education institution, that is, four years (4) for traditional schooling programs, two years
(2) for technical schooling programs. An annual recertification letter from the student stating that they
are still enrolled in an accredited educational institution on a full-time basis is required until graduation
or age 23. For high schools, this period is the normal beginning and ending school year.
School certification letters should be on school letterhead and include:
• Student's full name
• Student's Social Security number (SSN)
• Exact beginning date and projected graduation date
• Number of semester hours or equivalent (high schools excluded)
• Certification of full-time status
School generated forms are acceptable as long as they provide the above information. While
certifications submitted in a foreign language are acceptable, additional time will be required for
translation. Certifications may be submitted by mail to the address on the front or by FAX
to 1-303-331-7809.
NOTE: It is important to notify the Health Administration Center of any change in student
status such as withdrawal or change from full-time to part-time status. School vacation
periods, holidays, and summer breaks* are not considered an interruption in full-time
attendance and will not create a break in CHAMPVA eligibility.
*providing the student attends school on a full-time basis both before and after the summer break
