Special Extra Earnings for Military Service

Please share this with anyone who's had active duty service prior to January 2002 and planning for retirement. In a nutshell it boils down to this:

 
You qualify for a higher social security payment because of your military service, for active duty any time from 1940 through 2001 (the program was done away with in January 2002. In January 2002, Public Law 107-117,the Defense Appropriations Act, stopped the special extra earnings that have been credited to military service personnel. Military service in calendar year 2002 and future years no longer qualifies for these special extra earnings.).
 
Up to $1200 per year of earnings credit (see below website for more detail) credited at time of application - which can make a substantial difference in social security monthly payments upon your retirement.
 
You must bring your DD-214 to the Social Security Office - and you must ask for this benefit to receive it!
