Benefits written for France are first: U.S. benefits that apply only here, and host-nation provisions that reach U.S. veterans. VA benefits that apply abroad follow.

A filter hides a benefit only when that benefit has a rating gate and the rating you set misses it. A benefit with no rating gate stays on the list. No disability needed keeps only the benefits a living veteran can use without any service-connected disability rating: one that needs a rating or a disability, or may, stays off, and so does one only a surviving spouse or other family member can use. Who it is for means who can receive the benefit in their own right; a survivor is the family of a veteran or service member who died, and a child of one is listed under both. This is not an eligibility decision.

Benefits written for France

French Income Tax on Military Retired Pay and Social Security

MiscellaneousFrance · Country

Under the U.S.-France tax treaty as amended in 2004 and 2009, U.S. Social Security and pensions from a U.S. retirement arrangement, which include military retired pay, paid to a resident of France are taxable only in the United States. Unlike the other treaties in this catalog, nationality and immigration status do not change that on the French side.

No rating requirement. The treaty turns on the kind of payment and residence, not on any disability percentage.

VA benefits that apply abroad

VA Foreign Medical Program

VA payment for treatment of a service-connected disability, and some associated conditions, while the veteran is outside the United States.

Service-connected condition. VA pays for a disability it has decided is service-connected, including a 0% rating, and for some associated conditions. There is no single combined-rating floor beyond that.
