Veterans

Marylanders who provide care for veterans spend on average $11,500 of their personal income on out-of-pocket costs related to caregiving each year—1.5 times higher than what other family caregivers spend ($7,242), according to AARP data. And 43 percent of veteran and military caregivers experienced at least one financial setback such as having to take on more debt or dip into personal savings, according to research from AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving.
AARP Maryland is hosting a series of “On Tap” events, mainly at veteran-owned brewpubs across the state, aimed at connecting military families with AARP resources targeted to their needs.
