Annville, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs has updated regulations for several state benefit programs in what it calls the most extensive changes to Pennsylvania veterans’ benefits in 35 years. The changes broaden and clarify eligibility requirements, change income limits and add cost-of-living expense allowances in need-based programs, the department said Nov. 2, during National Veterans and Military Families Month. Programs affected include the Disabled Veterans’ Real Estate Tax Exemption, the Amputee & Paralyzed Veterans’ Pension, the Blind Veterans’ Pension, Veterans’ Temporary Assistance and the Educational Gratuity program. “What this means is that Pennsylvania’s nearly 650,000 veterans will have greater access to benefits they have earned in service to this nation,” said Maj. Gen. John Pippy, Pennsylvania’s adjutant general and head of the department. “We look forward to our continued work with the General Assembly on constitutional and statutory amendments to further broaden eligibility for the benefits programs.” The department suggests veterans contact their county director of veterans affairs or any certified veteran service officer to learn how the changes may affect their benefits. There is no charge for a benefits review or for help applying. Updated application documents and more information are available from the

Montoursville, Pa. — With potential wintery weather forecasted in parts of northern Pennsylvania, PennDOT is reminding drivers to slow down, pay attention, and use caution on area roads, especially during snow squalls or low-visibility conditions that may occur. Drivers always should be alert for sudden squalls which can strike with little or no warning and quickly cause roads to become snow covered. Heavy squalls also can cause whiteout conditions, virtually eliminating a driver’s visibility. Additionally, falling temperatures and blowing and drifting snow can cause icy areas on roads, including overpasses and bridges. The National Weather Service issues Snow Squall Warnings to alert drivers of potentially hazardous travel. If you receive a Snow Squall Warning, delay travel or exit the highway at the next opportunity. While avoiding or delaying unnecessary travel during winter storms is the safest choice, PennDOT offers this advice if drivers must travel and encounter snow squalls or blowing or drifting snow: Slow down gradually and drive at a speed that suits conditions.Turn on your headlights. If caught in a snow squall, turn on your hazard lights.Stay in your lane and increase your following distance.Stay alert, keep looking as far ahead as possible and be patient.Do not drive
