As a surviving spouse am I eligible for the VA Loan Guaranty Program? The http://www.directvaloans.com VA loan FAQ video series addresses the commonly asked question, Am I eligible for a VA loan as the spouse of a deceased veteran? The short answer is that a surviving spouse who has not remarried is eligible to apply for a VA loan. When defining the word surviving the VA is very specific. The spouse has to have been widowed by a veteran who died while serving or from a service connected disability. There are also special rules for spouses of POWs and MIAs. Please remember that it is only the surviving spouse and not the children who are eligible for the VA loan programs.
