VA Caregiver Program Opens to Eligible WWII, Korea and Vietnam Vetswill continue to look for more information on old soldiers and the VA IWorld War II veterans about to take part in the Veterans Day parade in Panama City, Florida, November 11, 2015. (U.S. Navy/Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Fred Gray IV)31 Jul 2020Military and Veteran Benefits, News, Veteran Jobs | By Patricia KimeAfter a yearlong delay, veterans from World War II through Vietnam who need around-the-clock care from a loved one can apply for the Department of Veterans Affairs' family caregiver program, starting Oct. 1.The VA announced Friday in the Federal Register that the program's expansion to include veterans who served on or before May 7, 1975, will begin with several changes that affect all who are enrolled, including current veterans and caregivers.Read Next: 1 Marine Dead, 8 More Missing After AAV Accident Off California CoastUnder the new rules, veterans with a single or combined service-connected disability rating of 70% or higher, who also meet certain criteria and served before the 1975 date, are eligible to apply in October.The VA will determine whether the applicant fits into one of two categories: Level 1, those who need substantial caregiving but are more capable than the most disabled cohort; or Level 2, those who are not able to "self-sustain in the community," meaning they require continuous supervision and help with three or more daily activities.According to the VA, the stipend amount for the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregiving will be dependent on geography and level. A caregiver in Dallas, supporting a Level 2 veteran, for example, would receive a monthly stipend of roughly $2,803.17. For someone caring for a Level 1 veteran, it would be $1,751.98.Those currently enrolled in the program and those with a pending application will be reassessed under the new eligibility criteria over the next year, according to the VA.If a reassessment results in an increased stipend, the veteran and their caregiver would receive the new amount, as well as a lump sum of retroactive pay back to Oct. 1, 2020. If the assessment determines the veteran is eligible for a decreased amount, the VA will give them notice by Oct. 2, 2021, and the decrease would go into effect "no earlier than 60 days" after they receive the notice.For veterans who are currently enrolled but deemed during the reassessment to be ineligible under the new criteria, the VA will inform the veteran at or around Oct. 1, 2021, and their benefits would continue for 90 days following discharge from the program.As part of the assessment, the VA will examine the level of activity veterans can do themselves each day, taking into account whether they can dress themselves, bathe, groom themselves, adjust a prosthetic or orthotic device on their own, go to the bathroom without assistance, feed themselves or need help moving around their homes.The 2018 VA Mission Act required the department to expand its caregiver program to include combat veterans from previous wars. The current program, which was established in 2011, serves combat-wounded veterans of the post-9/11 era and has helped 38,000 former service members at a cost of roughly $900 million annually.VA Secretary Robert Wilkie said Friday that the new regulation allows the most "vulnerable veterans to stay home with loved ones for as long as possible.""The expanded regulation addresses the complexity and expense of keeping Veterans at home with their families who provide personalized care," Wilkie said in a release.Under the Mission Act, the program will undergo another expansion on Oct. 1, 2022, to include combat veterans who served between 1975 and Sept. 11, 2001.In addition to expanding eligibility beyond those who are combat wounded, the new regulations define new procedures for discharging former service members from the program, standardize operating procedures and provide new training for staff and caregivers. The changes also will give caregivers access to financial planning and legal services.The program was the target of a VA Office of Inspector General investigation in 2018 that found problems with how the department managed the program, accepted applicants and monitored the health of those who were discharged from the program.The IG found that the department also paid out $4.8 million to caregivers of veterans who weren't eligible for the program.Last year, four spouses and two fiancees of veterans eligible for the program sued the VA for allegedly improperly revoking their benefits or denying them.More information on the VA's caregiver program can be found on its website.-- Patricia Kime can be reached at [email protected].

In my book, “Dental Entrepreneur’s Guide to Profitable eMarketing Strategy,” I discuss traditional and nontraditional marketing strategies, including taking advantage of the Internet as a low-cost marketing tool. However, “If you don’t have the necessary digital knowledge to guide your Internet marketing efforts, you can lose out on the financial opportunity that the Internet promises to deliver.” That is why it is important to surround yourself with persons with the know how to help you market your dental practice.Marketing your dental practice requires you thinking outside of the box. You also have to see a virtual Assistant as an assistant who happens to be in another physical location away from you. With the advent of technology, a VA can be in Timbuktu and take messages for you, book a flight/hotel accommodation for a conference, book your dental appointments, manage your calendar, and so much more. The key is to develop a system whereby you can effectively utilize your VA’s skills, and wisely manage your time. Remember the old computer meme: Garbage in, garbage out. So ensure you give your VA clear and precise instructions on the tasks at hand, and also ensure the correct tools and equipment are in place to get the job done.So what are good ways to use a Virtual Assistant to market a dental practice?First, you have to determine how you plan to market your dental practice. Once you’ve chosen a method, then you will need to know what steps to take to implement said method. Finally, you will need to know what aspects of this method will prevent you from concentrating on the business at hand—i.e. practicing dentistry.So for instance, if you decide to do eMarketing, a preferred marketing strategy these days, you will need to have a strong online presence. This means having a website for starters. Even if you are proficient in website development, you will not have the time to run a dental practice and run an online marketing campaign. This is where your VA comes in.Your VA can help you do the following:· Maintain a blog on your website· Proofread and/or write your articles for your blog· Contact blog owners concerning reciprocal link-building· Proofread and/or write articles for guest blogs· Moderate comments on your website· Do research for the material to use in your articles, e.g. find statistics· Do research on your competitors· Do email marketing by sending out emails to your prospective clients· Write video scripts for your landing pages· Know how to use SEO to optimize your websiteFor some of these tasks, your VA will need to know online tools like Mailchimp, aWeber, Basecamp, Mingle, WordPress, to name a few.Finally, your VA can reach out to social media to help promote your dental practice. Facebook, Google/YouTube, and Twitter are the three biggest media to utilize in your online marketing strategy. In this instance you will need a VA who is versed in social media marketing. With over one billion users, Facebook is arguably the number one social media site to target in promoting your dental practice.And this is just the tip of the iceberg as to the value a Virtual Assistant brings to your dental practice marketing campaign.For more information on this and other marketing tips, don’t hesitate to contact me at Bizsynergy.

Working from home has been an option that has been around for quite a while now. For many years I worked as a mystery shopper and made quite a bit of money from it. When I started out around 2000, it was mainly about mystery shopping of banks, today this business has grown to include almost every industry. Businesses like Upwork, http://Freelancer.com Fiverr and businesses of such ilk have been around for quite a while, and there are also Virtual Assistants and so many other work from home opportunities that people can choose from.

This is especially true for those who enjoy what they do now but want the flexibility and freedom an online job provides.Finding a decent employer is no easy task, though. A quick search on Craigslist pulls up dozens of spammy-looking “opportunities.”Fortunately, the number of companies who hire remote workers is growing. And yes, many of them offer things like stable salaries, benefits, and opportunities for promotion and advancement.The smartest way to find a legit online job is through FlexJobs.FlexJobs screens each job listing — more than 30,000 of them — to ensure that each company is legitimate.Here’s the catch: FlexJobs is a paid membership site.

That means you can drive a lot of revenue to a business just by implementing a basic set of SEO “best practices.” Therefore, you can charge a high hourly or project rate, knowing you’ll deliver results.When it comes to SEO, I’ve invested a lot into my own education. One resource I found valuable and very affordable is Mike Pearson’s Stupid Simple SEO Course. The course only opens a few times each year, but adding your name to the waitlist scores you access to Mike’s excellent 5-day SEO Bootcamp.#11) — GRAPHIC DESIGNERQuick summary: Design visually-stimulating graphicsAverage pay: $25 to $40 per hour for beginnersFor the artists out there, becoming a graphic designer is a great way to monetize your hobby.

We all do some type of marketing work as independent contractors for a range of businesses. We’ve each had our ups and downs. Yet, as I write this, things are going well for everyone.Connecting the dots, we realized that once we committed to specializing in a growing marketing platform, we had to actually start turning clients away.One of the fastest-growing segments is marketing automation, on platforms such as Ontraport and HubSpot. These platforms are experiencing explosive growth, and more are emerging all the time. Some other examples are Aweber, Convert Kit, and MailChimp.Taking a certification course to become a specialist can often land you in the $60 to $100 per hour range fast.See: Best Online Jobs for College Students#14) — SCOPINGQuick summary: Edit transcripts for court reportersAverage pay: $20 to $30 per hourThere’s a little-known work-from-home job that’s been around for 30+ years. It’s called scoping.A court reporter’s job is transcribing what’s said in the courtroom into written form, using a special system of shorthand so that they can keep up with the proceedings. Court reporters then hire scopists to edit their transcripts.Court reporters make money per page, not per hour. That’s why outsourcing the editing allows them to increase their earning potential.Similar to proofreading and bookkeeping, no certification is required, there are very minimal start-up costs, and the earning potential is high.If you’re interested, Linda Evenson — who has been a work-at-home scopist for 35-years — has a free course called Scoping: College Level-Income Without College-Level Costs.#15) — MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONQuick summary: Edit medical transcriptions for local healthcare providersAverage pay: $10 to $25 per hourThere are dozens of data entry jobs online.

CareerStep offers a range of certifications in multiple work-at-home opportunities within the medical field.With their medical transcription certification, which is approved by the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity, you’ll prepare yourself to land an online job in an industry that’s hungry for qualified talent.

Instead, your income correlates with the amount of value you can provide.There are no limits to what you can and can’t do. But to narrow down your choices and help you figure out where to start, here are 10 ideas.See Also: 16 Hottest Small Scale Business Ideas#18) — RETAIL ARBITRAGEQuick summary: Buy low and sell highDo you love going to flea markets, garage sales, and browsing thrift stores? If so, you can make money online by flipping items for profit.Think of this side hustle as buying an asset and selling it for a higher price. Your inventory can be anything you find at a garage sale or on a clearance rack.The goal — and the key to making retail arbitrage work — is having an information advantage. This means understanding the market for what you’re buying better than the person who is selling that item.Remember, the concept of arbitrage is based on the principle that a particular good has a higher price in one place than it does in another. That might mean it sells for more in California than it does in New York. But it might also mean that it sells for more online than it does in a brick-and-mortar store. Winning at arbitrage means knowing how to figure out which items to buy and which ones to walk away from.Robert and Melissa Stephenson of Flea Market Flipper have a Free 5-Day Email Course on making money by flipping items. They made over $130,000 last year, so their course is definitely worth checking out to see if flipping is right for you.#19) — ETSY STORE OWNERQuick summary: Create and sell homemade crafts and digital products on the world’s largest creative marketplaceWhen it comes to legit work-from-home jobs for moms, Etsy is near the top.

It’s actually something me and a friend have dabbled in (although without much success so far).The idea is to buy products directly from a manufacturer or wholesaler, then sell them online on Amazon. The most popular option is to use Amazon FBA, which handles all the warehousing and shipping (the “fulfillment”) for you. In fact, you can even have the manufacturer or distributorship the products directly to Amazon, so that you never have to physically touch the items.But you don’t have to limit your selling to Amazon. You can also use FBA to ship products you sell on eBay or your own website. It’s much easier than packing and shipping everything yourself, and the shipping rates Amazon charges you are much lower than you’d pay to UPS or FedEx.See: How How to Make Money on Amazon (The Definitive Guide)#21) — CREATE A COURSEQuick summary: Create an online education courseIf you have expertise others may find valuable, you can create a course online and sell it. This used to be very hard, as you had to build your audience from scratch.But two websites, Udemy and Skillshare, now provide access to an audience of people who are eager to learn about almost everything under the sun.

It just depends on finding the right niche. This is an especially good business for you if you have personal or professional travel experience because you can provide your clients with insights they can’t get from a website.# 27) MEDICAL BILLING AND CODINGQuick summary: Ensure patients and insurance companies are properly billed for medical servicesMany of us have had to deal with the hassle of calling our health insurance company because we were overcharged for a medical procedure — or were charged for a treatment we never even received.As a medical coder, you’ll help patients avoid this unpleasant experience by ensuring that providers correctly bill for their services based on a standardized, industry-wide set of codes.You’ll also play a vital role in ensuring patients’ health and safety. In addition to recording the specific treatments provided at a visit, you’ll be responsible for reading doctor’s notes, identifying their diagnosis, and translating that diagnoses into a simple code that can be populated across the patient’s health records — a process that makes it easy for future providers to quickly scan a patient’s health history.And you can make solid money. According to CareerStep, which offers industry-approved training and certification courses, average salaries for medical coders start at $50k+ per year, with projected job growth of more than 10% over the next 10 years.As a medical coder, you can work in a doctor’s office, at a hospital, or on-site for insurance companies.
