Chapter 30 Veterans Service Packet
For persons who served active duty for at least 180 consecutive days and paid ( $1200 ) into the Montgomery GI Bill. Participants usually paid $100 a month during the first year of service. There are different levels of eligibility which depend on your time in service. For those who retired active duty (20+ yrs.), you are eligible for a combination of the old Vietnam era GI Bill and the new Montgomery GI Bill (34/30). Contact our office for further clarification.

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. 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
