Veterans Day is recognized on Monday, November 11, 2024. This day we pay tribute to all the veterans who served our nation and safeguarded our freedom. If you are aware of a veteran, they can benefit from our Military and Veterans webpage at the Social Security Administration (www.ssa.gov/people/veterans). This page contains crucial information about Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits tailored for veterans. Some service members on active duty may remain unable to work due to a disabling condition, yet they continue receiving pay while hospitalised or on a medical break. Such individuals might want to consider applying for SSDI. The active-duty status and receiving of military payments do not always preclude the provision of SSDI benefits. The Military and Veterans webpage is straightforward to share on social platforms and with your acquaintances. We urge that you extend this valuable knowledge to someone who may be in need. Kylle’ D. McKinney is a Public Affairs Specialist with the Social Security Administration in Alabama.
