OAR 274-040-0030: Purpose and Objective

(1) It is the expressed policy of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (Department) to make the Oregon Veterans’ Home (OVH) financially available to current or potential OVH residents by means of the Department's Covered Care Program. (2) Within the fund established by the Department pursuant to ORS 406.050, an account is designated for donations to be used by the Department consistent with this Covered Care Program. Funds held within this account will be used by the Department exclusively for the purpose of assisting OVH residents whose income, Medicare benefits, Medicaid benefits, and any other assets, as determined by the Department, are insufficient to meet the financial requirements necessary for the cost of OVH care.
