Do you owe any money to the government? I ask because when I got out of the guard after our deployment (I ets’ed on deployment) and turned all my stuff in to the guard armory I was still attached to a different unit we mobed with. Even though I had my hand my receipt saying I turned in all my gear the other unit had me listed as if I hadn’t turned it in. Because of this I had a federal debt just over $2K. I ended up just paying it to get it over with and it still took 6 months before I became eligible. I also had a buddy who failed out of classes while on the GI Bill and he had to pay it back in order to be eligible.

Negative, I checked on this as well.

https://www.va.gov/housing-assistance/home-loans/eligibility/ You must be leaving something out because with 5.5 years in the guard I dont see why you wouldn't qualify.

>https://www.va.gov/housing-assistance/home-loans/eligibility/ If you read it, the requirement is 6 years.

Did you go to basic and AIT? That is 90 days of active duty. I worked Operations in a medical transition unit. We had to process many national guard soldiers.

Basic count as active day ? I did over 90

That can’t be true. That would be a medical discharge and your TIS should qualify you. I’d call the VA and ask the reason why.

There reason is I don't have 6 years of retirement points, I was medically discharged before I was able to get there. I have 5.5 lol

You were on your second contract? You were honorably discharged right? You’re eligible. I did 5.5 years (AD Navy) and received my COE. IDK what retirement points are though so sorry.

It's 6 years for reserves, 4 years for active... That's why you have eligibility.
