As we continue to celebrate National Veterans and Military Families Month, I remember a quote by President Obama: “It’s about how we treat our veterans every single day of the year. It’s about making sure they have the care they need and the benefits that they’ve earned when they come home.”
According to a 2021 Interagency Veterans Advisory Council report, about 500,000 military service veterans currently work as civilian federal employees across government. Retired service members who are currently employed or retired from federal civilian employment get a special set of health benefits.
