For American Veterans nearing Retirement Age

[Otis Willie PIO The American War Library]

For American Veterans nearing Retirement Age

To include your years spent on military duty in your Social Security benefits and payments package the Social Security Admin will require a valid copy of your DD-214.

All veterans nearing 62 (female) / 65 (male) years of age and who are not in possession of their DD-214 should begin immediately to obtain a copy: http://www.americanwarlibrary.com/htomr.htm#180

Or email The War Library (americanw...@pacbell.net) to request Form SF-180 be emailed to you.

Also, many federal and private agencies provide additional benefits for veterans who are recipients of certain awards (medals, badges, honors). It is important that you also ensure you have documentation on all of your military awards...
