Free Online Series on Veterans' Benefits Starts Friday: Please Share

 

NYSOFA reminds the network and partners that the first in a series of free online courses on Veterans' benefits starts Friday, January 7, at 11 a.m. Please share this information on social media and other public outreach encouraging Veterans to enroll.

 

NYSOFA, the Association on Aging in New York, and New York State Division of Veterans’ Services have partnered with GetSetUp — a peer-to-peer online learning community — to offer this online series that runs weekly throughout January and early February.

This coming Friday's class is called "MythBusters! Getting rid of the mythology that has prevented you from getting the Veterans’ benefits that you rightfully earned." Is combat service required to get any Veterans’ benefits? If a Veteran passes away before the VA decides their claim, does the surviving spouse get any benefits? These are just a few of the questions that the New York State Division of Veterans' Services will answer.
