	Compliance Manual Chapter 3: Benefits
		Benefits will also be equal if the employer's plan provides that older and younger employees will be paid the same monthly amounts until their deaths - even if the older employee has a shorter life expectancy and is thus likely to receive less in total benefits.
		Only certain benefits may be packaged, and the overall result must be (1) no lesser cost to the employer, and (2) a package that is no less favorable in the aggregate than the benefits would have been to the employee under a benefit-by-benefit approach.
		Benefits will be equal only if all employees participating in the plan, regardless of disability, receive the same types of benefits, the same payment options, and the same amounts of coverage -- for the same cost.

	The Education Service administers the following benefit programs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This benefit may be used for degree and certificate programs, flight training, apprenticeship/on-the-job training and correspondence courses.
		The amount of the benefit can be equal to the difference between the total cost of a college course and the amount of Tuition Assistance that is paid by the military for the course.
		Benefits are available to individuals who entered on active duty after September 30, 1980, and before October 1, 1981 (or before October 1, 1982, if entry was under a delayed enlistment contract signed between September 30, 1980, and October 1, 1981).

		If you are not getting these benefits but are on a low income (if your child is 16 years or over it is their income that counts, not yours) you may still be able to get help.
		Bereavement benefits are for both men and women who have recently lost their spouse (in Scotland, you may still qualify if you were living together but not married).
		This benefit is very similar to the care component of DLA except it is for people who become disabled after the age of 65 years and there is no equivalent of the mobility component for older disabled people.

	Benefits of Breastfeeding
		In addition to its known benefit where water supplies are unsafe or food supplies erratic, breastfeeding lowers the risk of SIDS in all populations.
		Breastfeeding's immunologic and developmental benefits may be particularly important for babies with medical problems such as congenital heart disease, cleft palate, Down's syndrome, etc. In cases where the baby has a problem which affects ability to suckle at the breast, expressed breast milk from mother is still the best choice.
		In light of the overwhelming evidence of breastfeeding benefits not only for babies but also for mothers and the planet, it seems fair to say that the choice of an infant feeding method is far more than the choice between two relatively similar methods with only convenience as the deciding factor.
