As we commemorate Veterans Day this month, we must not only honor the service and sacrifice of America’s veterans and their families, but we must also put that gratitude into action. At KH Credit Union, we stand ready to help our veterans meet their financial needs and achieve their financial goals.
Below are some financial tips for veterans and their families. In addition, we encourage any veteran or family member to call or visit the KH Credit Union office to learn more about the services and resources we have available to help serve those who have served us.
Take Advantage of Military Discounts
While several establishments offer Veterans Day discounts for veterans and active-duty military, many of these deals aren’t limited to Nov. 11.
Check with your local businesses to see if they offer discounts for veterans and family members to make the most of your money. In addition, many parks, museums, and other entertainment venues offer free or discounted admission.
Maximize Your Veteran Benefits
Visit the KH Credit Union office to learn more about how to maximize your veteran benefits for key costs, like education, healthcare, and housing. Taking advantage of these benefits can help you keep costs down and meet your financial goals earlier.
Many veterans are eligible for a VA Home Loan that allows you to purchase a home with little or no down payments, competitive interest rates, and favorable terms.
Explore Financial Literacy Options
Navigating finances can be especially cumbersome for veterans and their families, with so many benefits, retirement, and budget options available. The good news? You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Visit KH Credit Union to learn more about financial literacy options available to help you meet your financial needs and achieve your financial goals.
Be On the Lookout for Fraud
Fraudsters and scammers often target the veteran community, seeking to take advantage of veterans’ benefits, pensions, and other key financial resources. Always be wary of offers that seem too good to be true or that pressure you into making decisions quickly.
You shouldn’t have to risk your hard-won benefits falling into the hands of the bad actors only looking to enrich themselves.
