> program was done away with 1 January 2002). Up to $1200 per year of earnings credit
> credited at time of application - which can make a substantial difference in
> social security monthly payments upon your retirement. You must bring your
> DD-214 to the Social Security Office and you must ask for this benefit to receive it!
> Soc Sec website: http://www.ssa.gov/retire2/military.htm
> This is something to put in your files for when you apply for Social
> Security down the road.. It is NOT just for retirees, BUT anyone who has
> served on active duty between January 1957 to December 31, 2001.
> FYI - this benefit is not automatic, you must ask for it!
> Passing on good information for all you military folks when you apply
> for social security. I know this may be too early for some of you to think
> about social security but, keep living and you will get there.
