Please beware that there is a new scam that is targeting people regarding free athletic shoes! Please do not fall victim to the scam!

SCAM ALERT!

A graphic circulating online claiming VA is offering free athletic shoes from major brands has been identified as a scam by the VA national office, as well as our Whole Health program.

Athletic shoes through VA are not available through online offers, brand-selection links, promotional emails or third-party sign-ups.

Shoes are only available by prescription for Veterans with diabetes or to accommodate an orthopedic condition. VA only provides shoes that are medically required.

Veterans should not click suspicious links, enter personal information or provide payment details in response to these posts or messages.

Questions? Please contact your VA care team directly through official VA channels.

Without congressional action, the fund is now expected to begin depleting by the fourth quarter of 2032, according to a report issued Tuesday by Social Security's trustees, the body that manages the trust fund.

The cost-of-living adjustment will increase benefits by about $56 each month. Investopedia editor-in-chief Caleb Silver has the details.
