Are you a veteran or the spouse of a veteran with questions about health care when you retire?
Monroe County employees Charles Weaver, County Veteran Service Officer and Alice Ackerman, Elder
Benefit Specialist with the Aging and Disability Resource Center will be hosting a special meeting on
Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 4:00 pm at the Kendall American Legion, 414 Medbury St. Kendall. They will be
going over VA Disability benefits offered by the VA for military veterans and or their families and how
they coordinate with Medicare. In addition, they will discuss how Medicare works for veterans who
retired from the military.

TRICARE or CHAMPVA may pay for vs Medicare and if you need to have all parts of Medicare to receive
health care.
