Thank you for the question.
I'm very proud that a few years ago our government extended the last post fund, which traditionally was for World War II and Korean veterans, to all veterans, modern veterans.
It's critical to note that I believe the $12,000 threshold you talked about is fair, because the $12,000 threshold does not include their house or car. So you're actually talking about a veteran who could have an estate worth far more in excess of $12,000 because those are carved out. When you factor that into it, you realize that it's not as unreasonable as some people make it sound.
