Do you have questions about Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) benefits?

Join us at the Kernodle Senior Center on Thursday, September 17 at 11:30 a.m. for an informational workshop designed to help veterans and their dependents better understand available benefits.

Advance registration is required by September 11. Call 336-222-5135 to register.

Please join us September 17, 2026 at the Kernodle Senior Center for an important seminar covering DIC benefits. This event is open to veterans, surviving spouses and family members. We will discuss what benefits a surviving spouse may have available when a veteran dies and what important documents to have before that dreaded day comes. We hope to see you there!
