NewsMeeting About Additional Veteran’s Benefits – Monday, August 9th
Don Tyne, from the Veteran Affairs will be here in the Cedars Activity Room on Monday, August 9th at 10:00am to talk to Veterans and  family members about Service compensation.  This is a benefit that a lot of Veterans are missing out on and might find that they are eligible .  The monthly benefit ranges from $123.00-$2,823.00 and existing income and assets do not matter.  Awards & metals given during    Service may result in higher compensation.  If you are a Veteran we highly encourage you to come to this meeting and learn more!
