Michigan officials extend benefits to state guardsmen and airmen

The Families and Veterans meeting held on April 22, 2025, focused on enhancing support for Michigan's service members and their families. The agenda included discussions on the transfer of benefits for Michigan National Guard members and airmen, aligning their treatment with that of active duty federal veterans.

During the meeting, a key point raised was the need to extend existing benefits to Michigan guardsmen and airmen, similar to those already provided to active duty federal veterans. This proposal aims to ensure that local service members receive equitable support and recognition for their service.

The meeting concluded with a consensus on the importance of advocating for these changes, emphasizing the state's commitment to its military personnel. Further discussions and actions are expected to follow as stakeholders work towards implementing these enhancements in benefits for Michigan's service members.
