New law expands VA loan eligibility for Guard, COVID-19 vets
From the Military Times website
Early career National Guard troops who supported COVID-19 response this year may soon be eligible for Veterans Affairs home loan benefits, thanks to a provision in this year’s Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act.
President Donald Trump signed the legislation on January 5, narrowly avoiding an accidental “pocket veto.” Had he not signed it, the measure would not have become law unless the new Congress passed similar legislation.
When the legislation becomes law, Guard troops who have served at least 90 days of qualifying Title 32 active duty service, including a stint of at least 30 days, will be newly eligible for the loan. The expanded eligibility is applied retroactively, too.
