Social Security boost for selected veterans
Julie from Julie’s List has this info to share for veterans:
Any veteran who has had active-duty service prior to January 2002 and planning for retirement needs to know that they qualify for a higher Social Security payment because of their military service if they were active-duty anytime from 1940 through 2001 (the program was done away with in January 2002). More info can be found at http://www.ssa.gov/retire2/military.htm. This is something to put in your files for when you apply for SS down the road. THIS BENEFIT IS NOT AUTOMATIC, YOU MUST ASK FOR IT!
