🚨 **VETERAN SCAM ALERT** 🚨

If you receive a post card claiming to be the **“PA Veteran Savings Program 2025”** offering *$160 extra per month*, **IT IS A SCAM.**

These mailers are NOT from the VA, not from the state, and not from any accredited organization. They are targeting Veterans and spouses by pretending to offer benefits like CHAMPVA or TRICARE for Life increases.

Please share to help protect our Veterans and their families. ❤️🇺🇸
