Editing Pension (section)

====Military====
Some countries also grant pensions to military veterans. Military pensions are overseen by the government; an example of a standing agency is the [[United States Department of Veterans Affairs]]. ''[[Ad hoc]]'' committees may also be formed to investigate specific tasks, such as the U.S. [[Commission on Veterans' Pensions]] (commonly known as the "Bradley Commission") in 1955–56. Pensions may extend past the death of the veteran himself, continuing to be paid to the widow.

In the U.S., retired military receive a ''[[military retirement pay]]'', not called a "pension" as they can be recalled to active duty at any time. Military retirement pay is calculated on number of years on active duty, final pay grade and the retirement system in place when they entered service. Members awarded the [[Medal of Honor]] qualify for a separate stipend. Retirement pay for military members in the reserve and [[US National Guard]] is based on a point system.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Retired Pay |url=https://myarmybenefits.us.army.mil/Benefit-Library/Federal-Benefits/Retired-Pay |access-date=2022-06-26 |website=myarmybenefits.us.army.mil |language=en-us}}</ref>
