MPTF&rsquo;s social workers walk veterans and their families through the claims process every step of the way until benefit awards are received.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the past year, MPTF has screened nearly 700 entertainment industry military veterans and their surviving spouses, helping them to collectively obtain over $200,000 in retroactive benefits plus additional ongoing monthly support.
