Program helps military prepare financially for deployment

“Military Financial Challenges and Benefits” will be presented Wednesday, February 5, 5:30–7 p.m., in Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library. Presenters Dr. Daad Rizk, a Penn State financial literacy coordinator, and Matthew Heckman, a military admissions counselor, will offer practical information to help military personnel prepare financially for deployment, protect investment, minimize taxes, hold down insurance cost, avoid financial schemes that target military families, make the most of new GI Bill opportunities and education benefits decisions and transition into civilian life with informed decisions.

The presentation is part of the Money Counts: a Financial Literacy Series, a collaborative effort of the Penn State Commission for Adult Learners and the University Libraries.
