Chapter 1607 Veterans Service Packet
Generally, benefits are awarded to reservists serving on active duty on or after 9/11/01 for at least 90 days under a contingency operation. National Guard members are also eligible if their active duty is 90 consecutive days or more and their service is authorized under section 502(f), title 32, USC, authorized by the President or Secretary of Defense for a national emergency and supported by federal funds. Benefits are determined by DOD. 

The Veterans service packet at Palomar college consists of 6 forms plus a few supplemental printouts. It is important that you read the "everything" sheet. As the name implies, it covers everything. This file has been written, rewritten and updated for over 20 years by our two VA Counselors. If you NEED to know it - it will be in this file. Don't be the one who does not get paid, or worse yet, owes money back to the VA!

Fill out all forms completely and bring them into our office in person. We cannot accept partial paperwork nor paper work from a spouse. Paperwork must be turned in in-person along with a copy of your DD214 member 4 and your NOBE (Notice of Basic Eligibility) from your command. The member 4 copy shows the nature of discharge.

Ignore the form color coding.
Your printer will not print the colored sheets out. The forms we use in the office have these colors and are in the process of being phased out. If you pick up a packet at our office it will have this color coding
