Military Benefits

These days almost everyone knows someone in the military, whether active duty, on standby or veterans. Many of them could use financial help. The federal VA program is useful as far as it goes, but many states have programs that are considerably more generous. The loan programs and other assists in Texas, for example, are available also for active duty and those likely to be called up. With the current credit crunch in the real estate market, mortgage assistance in these state programs may be more readily available. The information site for Texas takes some time to wade through, but there is a good deal of help there: http://snipurl.com/1q35z

The California (Cal-Vet) program is good and most likely other states have helpful programs too. If each of us will explore these possibilities for our states we can do a good turn for the brave folks who protect us. Yuska
