Can you homeschool your child while receiving a veterans pension check?

I recieve a check from the VA and I want to homeschool my child. Would it affect my Check that I recieve if I homeschool her?

It is perfectly legal to homeschool, I don’t see why you should have a problem. And if you did, I would pitch a fit, because that’s ridiculous! Maybe try an umbrella school? That’s where your child will be enrolled as in private school instead of as a homeschooler officially. And the umbrella school covers you, you just have to send them attendance info.

Some umbrella schools charge, but this one is free. Send them an email, they will tell you how it works! Good luck.

I don’t see how homeschooling could affect you pension. One has nothing to do with the other.

i dont think how you get your money has anything to do with where your kids go to school

Absolutely! Receiving benefits in any form does not affect your right to homeschool.
