O’FALLON – On Monday, August 23, 2021 at 12:00 pm Keystone Place at Richland Creek retirement community will offer a free educational session on “Veterans Benefits.”
This session will be presented by Patty Servaes, Founder of Elder Resource Benefits Consulting. Ms. Servaes is a nationally renowned speaker accredited by the Veterans Administration to counsel veterans and their families on eligibility for departmental benefits.
Ms. Servaes will focus her talk on an underutilized special tax-free pension through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that can be used to help pay for senior living. This little-known pension, ranging up to $2,295 per month, is available to qualifying veterans and veterans’ survivors.
Ms. Servaes will discuss:
- What qualifies a veteran or the spouse of a veteran for the pension benefit
- Maximum pension amounts
- Planning strategies to help those who qualify
- Required materials to get an application started
The session will last approximately an hour and a half and feature lunch.
