Is there still a penalty with my husband having coverage with the VA?

No, if he has coverage from the VA, you will simply answer that he was covered all year.  This counts as being insured.

VA health care coverage is minimum essential coverage under the ACA.  There has never been a penalty for having VA health care coverage administered by the Veterans Administration.
