Benefits basics
When a Benefits Counselor Can Save You Time
Consider bringing in a benefits counselor when several programs interact, when a deadline is close, or when the decision affects a spouse or survivor.
Bring your statements, service history, questions, and desired outcome. Good preparation makes a counseling conversation more useful.
