Understanding VA Survivors benefits and best practices for avoiding posthumous scams - VA News
Spreading awareness of the need for the timely reporting of a Veteran’s death and posthumous scams are two more of the many ways VA supports survivors.
Timely reporting to VA helps family members avoid posthumous scams, which can cause additional financial and emotional stress during an already difficult time.
Best practices to avoid survivors benefits scams:

Save important files such as the Veteran’s military service/treatment records, discharge papers, and copies of their VA claims.
Go to the VA website for guidance on creating an account and obtaining a VA security Personal Identification Number (PIN) to securely access benefit information. A VA Security PIN is an additional way to secure direct deposit accounts from theft and protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII). 
Never give out PII via text, and be cautious of suspicious hyperlinks or unfamiliar hyperlinks.
If a survivor is missing a VA benefits payment, identifies a discrepancy in payments, or finds suspicious activity with a direct deposit account, contact VA immediately at 800-827-1000.
Review all documents thoroughly. Survivors should never sign a blank form for someone else to complete later. They should always review the completed form before signing and retain a copy of the completed form for their records.
For protection against identity theft scams, notify the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) to update the individual’s credit report with a deceased notice and notify the Veteran’s financial institutions so all accounts can be closed or transferred appropriately.
According to AARP, scammers also use names published in obituaries to pretend to be long lost relatives of the deceased. When it’s time to write your loved one’s obituary, consider leaving out the birthdate, middle name, home address, birthplace, and mother’s maiden name.
For other scams predators use, visit www.VA.GOV/VSAFE.

Financial Planning for New Parents
6 months ago

Becoming a first-time parent is a new life chapter that will no doubt impact your finances. We’ve outlined topics to review so your new family is set up for success.

Before Welcoming Your New Family Member
Calculate Your Parental Leave
California offers new parents — including foster and adoptive parents — up to eight weeks of paid family leave. You won’t receive your regular wage, however, as payments are about 60% to 70% of your weekly wages earned five to 18 months before your claim start date, according to the Employment Development Department (EDD), which administers these benefits. The EDD offers a benefits payment calculator, so you can budget your income during the leave period.
Rework Your Budget
It may be difficult to think of all the ways a child will impact your budget. Factor in the cost of birth or adoption fees, along with essentials like clothing, food, and diapers. Will you pay for childcare, or will a family member or friend help you? Account for how your lifestyle might change as well. Consider how much the costs of dining out, subscription services, attending events, or vacations will change.
Increase Your Emergency Savings
Your cost of living will increase with the new addition to your family. By increasing how much you’re saving each month, you’ll be better prepared to take advantage of opportunities or protect against unforeseen events. If you haven’t already, automate a transfer of funds into your savings account every month.
Once Your Family Has Grown
Capitalize on Tax Breaks
The state of California and the federal government offer tax credits for qualifying children. There are strict eligibility requirements, so work with a certified public accountant (CPA) or licensed tax preparer to avoid penalties and maximize your benefits.
