Veterans Benefits
When the possibility of Veterans Benefits exists, the EW must complete the Veterans Benefits Verification and Referral (CW 5) and send the referral to the County Veterans Services Office (CVSO). The CW 5 can also be used to verify the amount of the Veterans Benefits being received. Refer to Common Place Handbook Veterans Benefits for more information on processing a CW 5.
Treatment of Veterans Benefits
Veterans Benefits are social insurance payments.
Retroactive payments are unearned lump sum income and should be treated as property.
