NEW YORK - October 31, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

It's hurricane season once again, and this year, parts of the U.S. were hit especially hard. Hurricanes have an effect on a wide variety of individuals and families. Current and former military members are some of those who this year's major storms have impacted.

There's some good news, though: debt relief for veterans affected by hurricanes is available. We will take some time right now to talk about the details of this program. We'll also discuss how recent hurricanes have harmed veterans and their families.

How Have the Recent Hurricanes Impacted Veterans?

There were two hurricanes this year that had a catastrophic impact on some veterans and their families. Fiona formed the second week of September of this year. It began as a Category 4 over the Atlantic Ocean and caused damage in several countries. 

Ian originated in the third week of September and struck Florida as a Category 4. It was the most devastating hurricane to hit the state since 1935.

Many former service members call Florida home, so it's not surprising that a disproportionate number of those impacted were veterans. Some of them had their primary residences wiped out by Ian. Others had vehicles and various material possessions destroyed. Still, others were physically harmed by the hurricanes and had to pay for lengthy hospital stays.    

What is the Debt Relief Program?

The hurricane debt relief program is aimed toward helping veterans who were directly impacted by recent hurricanes Fiona and Ian. 

The VA, which is shorthand for the Department of Veteran Affairs, quickly took steps to implement debt relief for veterans that the two hurricanes we've mentioned impacted. The VA allows veterans and their families to suspend debt payments if they were affected by either of the two recent hurricanes.   

What Debt Payments Can This Program Suspend?

The VA set up a website and phone number that veterans and their families who suffered losses due to this year's hurricanes can use. These individuals can suspend payments for medical care and pharmacy copayments. They can also defer payment on debts covering essentials like food and shelter.

Simply put, the program is intended to temporarily suspend the need for veterans and their families to pay back the VA for outstanding debts in the face of this pair of natural disasters. Any veterans or their families who wish to see whether they're eligible can contact the VA using either the phone number or website set up for this purpose.

This Program Can Help Vets Impacted by Hurricanes

The two hurricanes that caused so much havoc over the past few weeks are almost unprecedented. Nothing similar has happened to the state of Florida for nearly the past hundred years. It's likely that climate change is fueling larger and more unpredictable storm systems, and these types of weather events might become more commonplace as the years pass.

Veterans and their families who were directly impacted by hurricanes this year may have high medical bills. Others might be dealing with the loss of their homes, vehicles, possessions, and so forth.

The VA has made a phone number and website available that veterans and their relatives can use if they need relief from any outstanding debts they owe. It is not a long-term solution. However, it will provide some welcome short-term relief for individuals who served this country through military service, as well as their families.

Any vets who are interested should reach out to the VA. This entity exists to help out veterans in any way that it can. Debt relief is one way to ease economic hardship following a pair of violent weather events that rocked this country.

NEW YORK - October 31, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

It's Halloween. That probably means decorations are up in your neighborhood. Perhaps you're putting together your costume if you're hosting a party or attending one.

Maybe you're also in an area that sees a lot of trick-or-treaters. If so, you'll want to stock up on plenty of candy to satisfy the ravenous hordes.

You may have noticed, though, that candy prices are higher than ever. It's no surprise when you look at inflation and how it's impacting virtually everything you typically buy. Some estimates put candy prices at about 13% higher than they were last year.  

Before you start looking into debt consolidation to pay for fun-size Twizzlers and Snickers bars, read this article. We've got some tips for how you can shave dollars and cents off of your Halloween candy budget.  

1. Buy in Bulk at Costco or Sam's Club

One thing you might do if you get overrun with trick-or-treaters each year is to hit Costco, Sam's Club, or any other store where you can buy candy in bulk at discounted prices. Many of these stores stock larger bags of candy weighing several pounds. You can usually find ones that feature M&M's, Skittles, and other name-brand favorites.

Ideally, you'll already have a membership to one of these stores. If you don't, it's probably not worth buying a membership just so you can save a few dollars on your Halloween candy purchase. 

Instead, you might try to think of any friend, neighbor, or relative who has a Costco or Sam's Club membership. Maybe they'd be willing to let you borrow it so you can make a run and get the supplies you need. 

2. Collaborate with Another House

If the prospect of paying inflated prices for bulk Halloween candy is leaving a sour taste in your mouth, you may also think about going in on a candy purchase with a neighbor on your block. If you go this route, you can either invite them over or else you can turn off all the lights at your house and go over to their place. 

When you do, you can take turns passing out Halloween candy to the trick-or-treaters from a single location. If only one of your homes is passing out candy rather than both, you can cut your candy spending in half.

3. Compare Prices and Buy Bigger Bags

One final thing you can do is compare prices on larger bags of candy. Look at 250-count, 300-count, or 500-count sizes. Then, divide the price by the number of individual candies in each bag. 

If you compare the prices of large bags of candy at bulk discount stores, your local grocery, and online sellers like Amazon or Oriental Trading Company, you should be able to figure out the best deal. Make sure to leave yourself enough time to get the necessary supplies before the holiday. That might mean either a trip to the store or ordering a bulk candy delivery if you can arrange it before Oct. 31. 

Determine the Best Move and Get the Candy You Need

Comparing prices on the larger bags of fun-size candies before you make your purchase can potentially save you some money as the holiday approaches. You might find that a Costco or Sam's Club is your best bet. If so, use your membership or borrow a card from a neighbor, friend, or relative.

If that's not going to shave enough cash off your Halloween candy budget, think about teaming up with another household rather than both houses handing out candy. That way, you can still recoil in terror from every scary costume, but you'll save some money that can go toward paying bills and other pressing expenditures.

CEOs who leverage Newswire's Media Advantage Platform (MAP) see a difference in the effectiveness of sharing their message with their target audience.

SARASOTA, Fla. - October 31, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

According to the B2B Thought Leadership Impact Study conducted by LinkedIn-Edelman in 2021, "65% of respondents said a piece of thought leadership significantly changed their perception of a company for the better, while 64% say thought leadership is a more trustworthy basis for assessing a vendor's capabilities and competency than marketing materials and product sheets."

While improved perception and trust are two positive outcomes created by thought leadership content, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) still struggle to find their voice in a crowded marketplace.

Newswire, an industry leader in press release distribution and media technology for nearly 20 years and counting, realized this shared struggle and developed a solution that gives CEOs of small and midsize companies a platform to share their expertise.

Through Newswire's Media Advantage Platform (MAP), CEOs across the country are leaning into a consistent cadence of press releases that are complemented by earned media, sponsored media interviews, and Forbes leadership pieces to position themselves as thought leaders in their industries. 

"Now more than ever, consumers want to see the executives of the brands they'll potentially do business with are knowledgeable and more than just a talking head," said Joseph Esposito, Chief Executive Officer at Newswire. "Our MAP acts like an amplifier that helps CEOs rise above the noise of a crowded market to show and not tell their audience they're experts in their fields and their businesses can be trusted to deliver the solutions they need."

CEOs that leverage Newswire's MAP have direct access to a host of offerings to bring their thought leadership content to the forefront such as:

• Press release writing services
• Media database access
• Media monitoring
• Targeted outreach to media and commercial contacts
• Robust data and analytics

All of these elements work together to empower CEOs to deliver the right message to the right audience at the right time. 

In fact, Andy W., a CEO in the marketing and advertising industry, shared in a TrustRadius review that "Newswire is our go-to resource for both our own company announcements as well as for our marketing clients."

Experience and dependability paired with innovation and strategy make Newswire's MAP a powerful marketing tool for CEOs.
