What real benefits have you learned about.

We all know of social security and Medicare in the USA.

I have read about some states offering some free college courses. Some states are offering or working on dropping personal property taxes.

When I looked at them before, I thought most AARP discounts are fake and you can do as well on your own or use other vendors and do better.

There are some lists on the internet of real discounts at restaurants and some stores.

I'm hoping to compile a list of absolutely free stuff.

This only applies to military veterans in the USA, but I am very glad that a friend urged me to apply
for benefits with The Veterans Administration (VA). Their system will outline what they can provide
for you.
