Billions in veterans benefits go unused as programs change though over $32 billion were paid out in veterans benefits last year, billions more went unclaimed in the past few years. Every year eligibility for benefits and the array of available benefits are changed and very few veterans or their survivors keep up with the latest rules. Because of this, and changes in their circumstances, many veterans, their families and survivors are now entitled to money and other benefits from the rgvernment even though they were eligible in the past. "These were the findings of a study group of the Consumer Edu- cation Research Center, a 19-year- 4d national nonprofit .consumer group. They found that over one- fourth of the money paid in veter- ans benefits goes to persons who never served in the armed forces of the United States. Most of these were related by blood or marriage to veterans but many were not. Others were members of the armed forces of countries who fought with us against our enemies. Each year the Center compiles a book describing the latest rules on available benefits and how to qual- Jfy for those benefits. The 192-page mice Guide to Federal and te Benefits for Veterans, Their Families, and Survivors with a foreword by Sen. Robert Dole and a separate book containing infor- mation and forms to obtain mar- riage, death, divorce and other vital documents needed to substan- tiate claims have just been issued. This set of two books is $7 (plus $2 p&h) from CERC-Vets, PO Box 336, South Orange, NJ 07079 or by call- ing 1-800-872-0121 with credit card. Mr. Robert L. Berko, executive director of the consumer group, says that many survivors of veter- ans are unaware that they might be eligible to receive money, medi- cal care, educational assistance, help in buying a home or other benefits. In fact, eligibility and benefits change constantly and some people ineligible in previous years are now able to start receiv- ing money. The study found that many people are unaware that they are considered dependents or survivors of veterans. These incluse those involved in illegal marriages, those who remarried after the death of disability of a veteran, children born out of wedlock to a veteran, parents of a veteran and even dependent grandchildren. Any of these may be eligible for benefits. Mr. Berko says that the study questioned veterans about benefits and found that the majority were unfamiliar with most of the bene- fits now being granted under Fed- eral and state laws. Even veterans now collecting were unaware of other benefits for which they were eligible and could be collecting. For instance, disabled veterans can receive apparel allowances if they use wheel chairs, artificial limbs or any prosthetic device that can wear or damage clothing and, if they have a spouse in need of care, they can receive an allow- ance to pay someone to provide that care.

Linda Stallone, director of mar- keting and college relations for Misericordia, will discuss the com- ponent of successful love relation- ships between couples. ‘‘Being Together: A Three Sided Affair” will reveal findings of the latest research on the topic of love rela- tionships, particularly the recent work of Yale professor Robert J. Steinberg. The workshop will pro- vide a structure for understanding the components of complete lvoe relationships from which partici- pants can identify the strong and weak elements in their own lives. “If your marriage is not suppor- tive, it’s difficult to focus on your next promotion,”’ said Stallone. “But the potential exists for cou- ples to draw strength from each other, even under the most stress- ful or traumatic conditions.” “Once you know what works and what doesn’t work in your own relationship, you can spin out your own strategy for change,’”’ she added.
