Veterans, Keep Up With Your DD-214

Veterans,

The most important document when you are getting out of the service is your DD-214 member 4 copy. Your DD-214 can be used for many things when returning to civilian life, (employment, home loans, land loans and discounts). I normally carry a copy of mine in my wallet to get the 10 percent off at Lowes and Home Depot but recently my DD-214 had become unreadable and I could not find my original member 4 copy. After searching on the web I came across this website that will get you another copy free of charge. http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/ It took my copy about 3 weeks to get to me and I am back in the discount arena. When you receive your new copy take it down to the county you live in and register that as an official document with the Clerks office so they will always have a copy of your DD-214 on file. Coming home is a good thing and we Thank You for your service

Military Service Members Purchasing Foreclosed Properties?

Richard Peach, senior vice president at the Federal Reserve Board of New York is promoting moving foreclosures by giving incentives to military service members. His idea is to allocate certificates to 2.5 million service members who served in Afghanistan and Iraq that could be used as a down payment on a foreclosed home in the Fannie or Freddie portfolio. He said this could help to absorb the inventory and stabilize the housing market? What do you think?

Full Property Tax Exemption for Texas Veterans

AUSTIN (North Texas e-News) – A new law allows certain Texas veterans to apply for exemption from 100 percent of their local property taxes. The exemption applies only to the person’s residential homestead property.

Under HB 3613, which became law during the recent legislative session, the homeowner must receive 100 percent disability compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to qualify for the exemption.

To apply, veterans must complete the State Comptroller’s Form 50-764 and submit it to the appraisal district office along with a copy of their driver’s license or ID card and a copy of the VA Disability Award Letter from the Department of Veteran Affairs showing the 100 percent service-connected disability.
