19. Veterans Pensions stop on the 61ST day of incarceration

and you have to petition the VA to have benefits restored once you're released from prison.

It is, unfortunately, the veterans responsibility to notify the VA that they have been incarcerated. Failure to notify the VA can result in an overpayment of benefits that the veteran will be required to payback, with interest and fines.

I also believe that if the veteran fails to notify the VA, they can also be charged with fraudulently obtaining benefits.

But, here's the point I want to make.

Although it is rare. Retired veterans can be recalled to active duty and punished under the UCMJ.

That needs to happen in these cases, the most high profile one being General Mike Flynn.

Retirees are different than folks that just did a couple of years and got out of the military.

Retirees maintain a connection with the military. They are expected and required to live up to certain standards.

Even if it is hard, RETIRED MILITARY THAT PARTICIPATED IN AN ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, SHOULD NOT CONTINUE TO RECEIVE BENEFITS FROM THAT GOVERNMENT!
