Social Security Honors the Nation’s Heroes on Memorial Day
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: August 19, 2021
On Memorial Day, we honor service members who have given their lives for our nation. Social Security acknowledges the heroism and courage of our military service members, and we remember those who have given their lives to protect our country. Part of how we honor these heroes is the way we provide Social Security benefits.
The loss of a family member is difficult for anyone. Social Security helps by providing benefits to protect service members’ dependents. Widows, widowers, and their dependent children may be eligible for Social Security survivors benefits. You can learn more about Social Security survivors benefits on our website.
It’s also important to recognize those service members who are still with us, especially those who have been wounded. Just as they served us, we have the obligation to serve them. Social Security has benefits to protect veterans when an injury prevents them from returning to active duty or performing other work.
Wounded military service members can also receive expedited processing of their Social Security disability claims. For example, Social Security will provide expedited processing of disability claims filed by veterans who have a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Compensation rating of 100 percent Permanent & Total (P&T). The VA and Social Security each have disability programs. You may find that you qualify for disability benefits through one program but not the other, or that you qualify for both. Depending on the situation, some family members of military personnel, including dependent children and, in some cases, spouses, may be eligible to receive Social Security benefits. You can get answers to commonly asked questions and find useful information about the application process on our website for wounded warriors.
Service members can also receive Social Security in addition to military retirement benefits. The good news is that your military retirement benefit generally does not reduce your Social Security retirement benefit. Learn more about Social Security retirement benefits today. You may also want to visit the Military Service page of our Retirement Planner.
Service members are also eligible for Medicare at age 65. If you have health insurance from the VA or under the TRICARE or CHAMPVA programs, your health benefits may change, or end, when you become eligible for Medicare. Visit us to learn more about Medicare benefits.
In acknowledgment of those who died for our country, those who served, and those who serve today, we at Social Security honor and thank you.

Firstly, turn on the Vizio tv and press the VIA Button for launching Facebook App. It the app is appearing in the widget bar, you have to install the app on Vizio smart tv by opening the Yahoo connect tv store. On the other hand, choose your Facebook app by typing its name in the search bar and keep calm for the results. And then key in the credentials like username, passwords. And then, you can start to stream and watch the Facebook app for Roku connected Vizio TV.

In cases where it is necessary to restore volume and definition to bald or patchy beards, the transplantation of follicular units from the scalp may be considered.
This procedure involves harvesting grafts from the posterior area of the head, leaving a short scar that is completely camouflaged by the hair, and then transplanting these small grafts into the beard.
This delicate procedure is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes between 3 and 5 hours, depending on the number of grafts to be transplanted.
