| 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.
