Veterans Housing/Education: AARP can specifically guide veterans when purchasing their first home, provide information when enrolling and/or continuing their education via the American G.I bill, guide them toward their health and VA insurance benefits, and more.
Veterans’ Health: AARP.org has information to guide veterans in areas of housing, homelessness and purchasing first home. You can easily check out all things AARP and veterans on social media via the hashtag #AARPSalutesVets.
Veterans Job Search: AARP serves the veterans community by providing specific information on various topics that range from job search and career training once the veteran has ended active duty.
Veterans Caregiving: Many veterans become disabled in active duty and require caregiving once the veteran returns home. AARP.org offers guidance and resources.
End of Life Benefits: AARP also provides information regarding end-of-life benefits such as burials/cremations for veteran and spouse.
Fraud Protection: Veterans, active-duty service members, and their families are nearly 40 percent more likely to lose money to scams and fraud than civilians. Stay informed by reading AARP’s scams and fraud coverage or get help by calling the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 1-877-908-3360 (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET).
