ORS 408.710: Indigent veteran defined; effect of property ownership.

(1) As used in ORS 408.710 to 408.740, “indigent veteran” means any veteran who is without means of procuring the necessities of life. (2) A person may not be deprived of the benefits provided for in ORS 408.720 to 408.740 by reason of the fact that the person owns property that is not of such a character that it may be used to give assistance to the person, or owns a home that is not disproportionate to the needs of such veteran and family. A person may not be deprived of such benefits until the person has ceased to be domiciled in the county for a period of one year. [Amended by 2009 c.41 §15]
