What are you waiting for?
Good Morning,
Here's some information I received via email - this information was not passed during a recent TAPS class I attended. The following comments are extracted -from the email I received:
"For those or you who did not have this info it is something to put in your files for when you apply for Social Security [if still around] down the road. It is just not for retirees but anyone who has served on active duty prior to January 2002.
Strongly encourage you to forward this to all folks who have served on active duty who are entitled to this benefit but must ask for it!
Go to the website and then prepare to get extra benefits .........
