The U.S. Department of Labor maintains a website to support one of their programs knowns as " e-VETS Resource Advisor" (online resource advisor).  The e-VETS Resource Advisor assists Veterans, Service Members and all those who support them to quickly and easily navigate information and resources on a range of topics, including:
  • Benefits and Compensation
  • Education and Training
  • Employment
  • Family and Caregiver Support
  • Health
  • Homeless Assistance
  • Housing
  • Transportation and Travel
  • Other Services and Resources
  • State-Specific Information and Resources

Although GLVFA members are fortunate to have our own resource advisor (see previous news posting on that), members can also easily find answers to common questions and retrieve useful information on the above listed topics and much more by visiting the following website:

Picture
Did you know there is a small piece of WW2 history right here in our GLVF back yard?   Most people don't know that there is a bunker located near Brooksville airport which was built as part of the new Brooksville Army airfield in 1942.  Those of you who have driven by the bunker and noticed it probably thought it was an old storage bunker.   Good guess but it wasn't used for that.  What it was used for, from a historical perspective, is now being brought to light as an upcoming Hernando County war memorial.

Amid record high inflation, Social Security beneficiaries will get an 8.7% increase to their benefits in 2023, the highest increase in 40 years.  Like Social Security, Veteran Affairs benefits and pensions are tied to the same COLA as Social Security. So recipients should see an 8.7% increase in January. The Department of Veterans Affairs is set to release finalized VA compensation rates on Dec. 1
