The Veteran Saver
Editorial standards

How we keep this accurate

The Veteran Saver exists to give military families numbers they can trust. Here is exactly how we earn that trust — and how you can check our work.

Every figure is sourced and dated

Pay charts, BAH and BAS rates, TSP limits, and VA compensation figures are taken directly from their official source — the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Defense, or the IRS — and we show the source and the date on the page. If an official figure changes, we update ours and re-date it.

Every discount is confirmed at the source

We confirm each offer directly with the retailer or its verification partner (ID.me, GOVX, SheerID), record the terms and who’s eligible, and stamp it with a “Last verified” date. We re-check offers on a rolling schedule and remove any we can no longer confirm — so what you see still works at the register.

We publish information, not individualized advice

Everything here is educational and factual. It is not personalized financial, tax, or legal advice. For decisions specific to your situation, confirm with the relevant agency or a qualified professional. As we add credentialed reviewers, money pages they review will carry a named “Reviewed for accuracy by” line.

We cite our sources

We fix mistakes in the open

Found an error or an out-of-date figure? Tell us and we’ll correct it and note the update. Accuracy is the entire product.

The Veteran Saver was founded by a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former police officer who learned to make every dollar count on enlisted pay.
