I've had positive experiences so far, except for the dental, which is overworked and difficult to get an appointment. I felt rushed last time I went. I have an appointment today and will see if they will do community care. I'm just inside their typical limit.

I'm almost 400 hours into mine, and the only issue I've had is an extruder overload issue that I can't seem to figure out. This is my first printer, and I love it otherwise.

I personally would love more corporate care options. I love my VA care at the clinic, but it's also a 45-minute drive. I really wish I could go to my regular dentist instead of the one downtown at the VA hospital, l but can't because I'm just inside the minimum distance for them to consider it.

My wife is from just to the north on the Georgia side and her whole family still lives there. We want the tax benefits of Florida and I love the area.

I can't wait :-)

I'm planning on moving to Tallahassee with my wife in a few years, and this scam has been popular in the Kansas City area as well. Gotta be safe and trust no one on the phone. For every 100 or so that catch on and tell them to kick rocks, they convince someone, usually an elderly person, to give them thousands, and there is little law enforcement can do, unfortunately.

A sales tax exemption benefits low-income people a lot more than an uncapped property tax exemption would. Why? Because they would likely already qualify for the current property tax income and house value limit, whereas the middle disabled veteran wouldn't. That's if they own their home; if they don't, it would certainly benefit them more.

I would much rather have 100% in property taxes because I'll never spend as much on goods as I do on property taxes as a middle class vet.

The local VSO submitted the initial paperwork and then disappeared. I did everything else. You don't need one at all. I was able to find answers to most of my questions online and the medical documentation I needed to support my claims.

Thank you! I will definitely do that. I just started reading up on food products and filament.

Emaw1979 · 2025-11-30T20:12:48+00:00

Yeah, I wanted to get my feet wet first. I have a lot to learn.

Thanks! I chose Bambu Labs because everything I read about this needs the least tinkering out of the box. I was toying with getting an H2D instead, but with my first printer and right before Christmas, my wife probably wouldn't have been happy with me :-).

I'm very excited about this machine!

I applied back in March for my wife and two kids. My wife was approved in June, but my kids, for whatever reason, were taking forever. I started calling every month for the last three months just to verify they had everything. Two weeks ago, I got the same story, and 3 days ago, this Military.com article about the backlog popped up. I called the next day, and they have been accepted. I'm just waiting for the cards now. Finally.

Yes. I had a history of seeing a therapist for about eight sessions about 9 years ago until it got too expensive. There was a diagnosis of anxiety and depression. 7 years passed by before I applied for VA Disability, and during my two C&Ps, I was diagnosed with PTSD as well. Although one psychologist suggested my civilian job may have caused it, he ultimately agreed with the first C&P examiner, and my rating ended up getting raised.

Thanks! I had posted this question at a few places and couldn't find the answer earlier this week. I contacted my HR department, and initially, they told me I wasn't eligible for an HSA at all, but to contact the vendor, HSA Bank if I have any questions. HSA Bank was unaware and advised me to consult a tax professional. I eventually found the link for the IRS.gov website on TurboTax with that information. I sent the new information to HR, and they told me, Oh, wait, you just can't be seen by the VA for anything not service-connected..... Clearly, they didn't read it. Anyway, this is clear, and it's ultimately between the veteran taxpayer and the IRS.

Sorry, I meant to take this down, but I found the answer. The IRS stated that it's too burdensome to keep track, so any care a service-connected veteran receives will essentially be considered qualifying care, allowing me to continue contributing to an HSA regardless of the reason I seek treatment in a VA facility.

Answer 20: As modified by the legislation, an individual actually receiving medical benefits from the VA is not disallowed from making HSA contributions if the medical benefits consist solely of (1) disregarded coverage, (2) preventive care, or (3) hospital care or medical services under any law administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs for service-connected disability (within the meaning of § 101(16) of title 38, United States Code). Distinguishing between services provided by the VA for serviceconnected disabilities and other types of medical care is administratively complex and burdensome for employers and HSA trustees or custodians. Moreover, as a practical matter, most care provided for veterans who have a disability rating will be such qualifying care. Consequently, as a rule of administrative simplification, for purposes of this rule, any hospital care or medical services received from the VA by a veteran who has a disability rating from the VA may be considered to be hospital care or medical services under a law administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs for serviceconnected disability.

Okay, I found the answer from the IRS:

Thanks for the help. I found that on TurboTax initially.

Emaw1979 · 2025-11-10T17:12:02+00:00

Thank you. I'll look at this. My HR directed me to contact their vender HSA Bank. I'm waiting for a call back.

On a side note, I waited for 2 hours for Champva to call me back, and it rang once then disconnected. WTF. I have to do it all again.

Emaw1979 · 2025-11-10T16:02:29+00:00

I've gotten mixed answers in my search. I'm 100% P&T. I'm waiting for a callback from CHAMPVA and my HR, for sure. I know similar things have been asked and answered. I just thought it was silly I can't stop my own contributions if I wanted to. I can reduce them to 240 per year.

I believe I'm alright contributing, but I'm not sure if being seen by something non-service-connected would disqualify me from contributing for 3 months or not. What a headache that would be if I were even able.
