Understanding eligibility and how to access the benefits earned in service to America has never been easier.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – America’s 26.5 military veterans have earned a wide variety of benefits, from education to healthcare. In addition, many companies offer veterans discounts as a gesture of appreciation for their service and sacrifice.
Eligibility for most VA benefits is based upon discharge from active military service under other than dishonorable conditions. Current and former members of the Selected Reserve may also be eligible for certain benefits if they meet time-in-service and other criteria.
Many veterans, however, are unaware of the benefits they’ve earned. For example, over 50 percent of GI Bill benefits go unused, often due to a lack of understanding of how to take advantage of them. Understanding the benefits and accessing them can be complex and frustrating.
Fortunately, it has never been easier for veterans to learn how to take advantage of their benefits thanks to Military.com (www.military.com).
