Supporting Our Veterans, Military and Their Families with Resources and More!

Supporting Our Veterans, Military and Their Families with Resources and More! 

Our service members, veterans, and their families frequently encounter pressing hardships associated with military duties, such as work-life balances, health care issues, financial problems, employment concerns, and more. Considering the wide scope of these impacts, AARP has developed a comprehensive toolkit of resources to support those who have served our country and ensure they get the help they need. 

MEMBERS ONLY

To this end, AARP focuses on four key resource areas: caregiving, employment security, fraud, and earned service benefits. The resources below are all free, and you don’t have to be an AARP member to use them, although you may need to set up an account for access.

• Health Benefits Navigator—find and access service-related health care benefits.  
• Military Caregiving Guide—this comprehensive guide provides essential information and resources related to military and veteran caregiving.  
• Veterans Fraud Center—this hub aims to protect service members and their families from common scams.

• Veteran Financial Workbook—browse helpful information about financial management, from caregiving costs to real estate planning.    
• Resources for Veterans Beyond the VA—in addition to the Department of Veterans Affairs, these organizations provide support in various areas, including employment security, health access, community connection, and more.  
• Veterans’ Survivors’ Benefits—get important information on benefits for eligible military families, such as survivors’ compensation, health care coverage, financial assistance for education, home loans, pension, life insurance, and more.
