The men and women who served our country in the military can count on Social Security to be there for them.

Active duty military members earn credits toward Social Security retirement benefits. Wounded Warriors can receive expedited handling of their claims to receive disability benefits. There are also survivor benefits for young children and spouses of veterans who have died.

“Journey to Success: Employment Tools for Veterans with Disabilities” (ssa.gov/people/veterans) is a five-part online guide that helps disabled veterans return to fulfilling employment. The guide highlights resources, such as career counseling, job training, employment services and more.
