"The tens of thousands of returning veterans, along with those who are here as active and retired members of the military, often face severe financial hardships, particularly after a deployment," said Etta Money, President of InCharge Debt Solutions.  "All too frequently, jobs are lost and become harder to get when a servicemember returns home, and that can cause problems with credit card debt and housing."

While it is very heartening to see many states like New Jersey considering legislation that would offer tax credits to businesses that hire veterans, the tremendous strain of assimilating back into the workforce and even being forced to learn new skills can put stress on finances, families and relationships.

"Our message is that we are here to help and support our military, and our special servicemember program is one way for us to do that," said Money.  "Military members facing credit card debt problems can call us for free credit counseling, and if the solution they choose is a debt management program, we will waive their set-up fee and ensure that the most they would pay for our services is $10 per month."

InCharge Education Foundation, an affiliate of InCharge Debt Solutions, produces the very popular website MilitaryMoney.com that is devoted to helping members of the U.S. military manage their money better and use credit more responsibly.  MilitaryMoney.com features timely content, tips and resources dedicated to these American heroes and their families.

InCharge Debt Solutions, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, provides bankruptcy counseling, credit counseling, and housing counseling services to consumers and service members in need of financial literacy education, money management guidance, and help finding the right debt solution for their specific situation.
