Husband served in Merchant Marine, how do we find out if has benefits due?

Being a Navy man I don't know all the rules for Merchant Marines (MM).  I do belive the only time MM get military/Gov't type benefits is when they are pulled into a war.  Last time I know that happened was WWII.  Not to say your husband may not have something coming to him.  I would still check through MM channels as well as American Legion and VFW.  Not sure if I helped you much.  Best of luck

As an immediate relative, you can contact PERSCOM and use the Army's locator system. Make sure you have your son's personal information (SSN, DOB etc.) - without it they cannot provide you with any information. I have linked the locator info below.

My father gets extra for family members and some medical help. I don't know how it all works out for sure, but I found a website and you may find some information there?\n\nhttp://www.military.com/Resources/ResourcesContent/0,13964,38349,00.html

Boy that's a tough one. You can try contacting the ships store if they're in port or ask some of the crew you served with. If you know the exact title you can do a book search at http://used.addall.com/\nOr, post a Want It Now message on eBay or some of the other internet auction sites.

If he was a British serviceman then you should try to get information from the British Ministry of Defence.

There are probably no benefits from the Army unless he was given a disability retirement.\n\nYou may have various VA benefits, based on the classification of his discharge, reason for discharge, and length of service.  Contact the nearest VA office for information, or go here:  http://www.va.gov/

Definitely check with Social Services.\n\nAlso, if your husband worked, you would be entitled to Social Security benefits from his working contributions.  The amount depends on how much he made throughout the years.  Make sure you check into that - as his wife you have the right to the monthly amount.

This is certainly nice of you.  Please pass along my gratitude.  I hope that he might have registered it with your local clerk if not, go to http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html  then you can request (DD214)on line at their web page; fax it or write them.  If after you receive your DD214 you need awards and medals download a Form SF 180 Requests Pertaining to Military Records, http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/replacement-medals.html   complete it and send to one of the following:\n\nBureau of Naval Personnel  (Navy, Coast guard and Marines)\nLiaison Office Room 5409\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center  (Air Force)\nAir Force Reference Branch (NRPMF)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center   (Army)\nMedals Section (NRPMA-M)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nBest of luck.  Thank-you and God Bless you and the Southern People.

If you know his full name, then contact some of the Merchant Marine retiree's organizations.\n\nIf you know the name of his ship, theres probably a reunion list somewhere where they still meet.\n\nGood Luck

Are you married to the deadbeat? My ex husband was in the military and I recieved a card (pass) to shop on base that had his social security number on it. I kept it after we divorced just in case I needed it in the future..Sure enough he tried to run away from his responsibilities of paying child support. I took his social security with me to the Department Of Human Resources and they helped me collect child support from him.That has been many years ago. Things may have changed since then.

You should receive one in the mail once you've been discharged.  Or you can go to www.pacer.psc.uscourts.gov\nYou can pull up all your information on your case.

You should probably contact the Child Support Agency for further information if your husband has agreed maintenance payments with them.  FSee below for the link.

You will have to either contact his command to find out or you could call DEERS and find out.  DEERS is who you have to enroll with as a dependent. \n\nhttp://www.tricare.osd.mil/deers/active.cfm

After you are married take your proof to your commanding officer or company clerk and they will show you what to do and assist you it is really simple just sign your name a couple of times then your wife can get your money and make sure you don't go out on her if deployed, you won't have any money to go out with
