Verify Status

Note: A veteran means any individual who has served in the National Guard, the Reserves, or on Active Duty with a discharge other than dishonorable. Veterans must provide a DD-214 to show that they did serve and did receive a discharge other than dishonorable.

To receive these benefits, you must verify your status within one of these categories, and show appropriate documentation to the Enrollment Services office. For more information, see House Bill 131 (PDF) passed in July of 2015.
