the following email was sent out at work. if you ever served our country please read it and go to the website...might get extra money when you collect social security.


Subject: FW: Social Security - Special Extra Earnings for Military Service

Did you know that you are credited for years of active duty through 2001

(the program was done away with in January 2002)

Up to $1200 per year of earnings credit (see below website for more detail) credited at time of application

Bring in DD-214 to Social Security Office - you must ask for this benefit to receive it!


Soc Sec website: http://www.ssa.gov/retire2/military.htm


Put it in your files for when you apply for Social Security down the road.

It is just not for retirees, but for anyone who has served on active duty prior to January 2002.
