Help With Pensions (Veterans - 2013)

Many of America’s veterans are eligible for a tax-free monthly income-and don’t even know it.

Through the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Aid and Attendance benefits, qualifying veterans can receive up to $1,644, a surviving spouse of a wartime veteran up to $1,056 and a married couple up to $1,949.

“Our veterans and their spouses have sacrifice greatly for our country and they rightly deserve a safe, comfortable and rewarding retirement,” said Gen. Hugh Shelton, retired U. S. Army general, who was the 14th chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff from October 1997 through September 2001.

To help veterans get the benefits they deserve, the independent living communities of Holiday Retirement hold regular educational seminars on Aid and Attendance and provide access to veteran service providers.

At the residence, veterans and others can benefit from true independent retirement living, all for one monthly fee. Holiday Retirement living includes around the clock live-in community managers, three chef-prepared meals daily, an exclusive travel program, complimentary shuttle service and safe and secure communities throughout North America.
