Ready to wrap up a career in the National Guard or Reserve? Considering leaving service but unsure whether you qualify for retirement, or have questions about health care or other benefits? Hoping to advance on your civilian career path and capitalize on the leadership skills and technical know-how acquired while in uniform?

These challenging questions often aren't answered by seminars or programs aimed at active duty servicemembers. That’s why MOAA has launched Understanding Your Guard and Reserve Retirement and Earned Benefits – a comprehensive workshop geared specifically to Guard and Reserve issues such as:
Retirement: How to navigate a complicated, time-consuming retirement process, file the proper paperwork, and calculate your benefit.

Earned Benefits: How to determine which health care plan is right for you and your family, and how to maximize VA and other service-earned benefits available to you.

Legal and Financial Topics: How to make the right choices for your Survivor Benefit Plan, and what you need to know about your protections under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
