Veteran's Day was held earlier in the month on November 11th, and Americans spent a lot of time honoring and remembering our troops. The Social Security Administration wanted to make sure they go the word out of how they are able to help the troops with some of their programs. Jack Myers, Public Affairs Specialist with the Social Security Administration said they are supporting wounded warriors through their disability programs.
Myers said the Social Security Administration doesn't look to see where the disability occurred, just that the vets were injured while on active duty. He said they want to make the process quicker for veterans so they don't have to wait as long to get the disability payments.
Myers appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
