Who Is Eligible For A VA Loan?
Includes veterans who served in the military for a minimum of 90 days during wartime or 181 days of continuous active duty during peacetime periods before 9/7/80; or 2 years between 9/8/80 and the present and received an honorable discharge. Reservists who have completed 6 years of duty may be eligible (temporary until 10/28/99). Note: certain service, discharge, and/or survivor benefits may affect eligibility.
Active Duty Service Members Will Need
Active duty personnel should obtain “Statement of Active Military Duty” (SAMD) from their Company Officer, reflecting current rank and length of service, as soon as possible. A sample form may be obtained from your mortgage professional.
For active duty personnel currently living on base who will use their Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) as qualifying income, a completed DD-1747 must be obtained from the Base Housing Office. Officers are exempt.
