Veteran/Military Service: This evidence captures details about a Household Member's period of service in the military. Veteran Military Service evidence describes a Household Member who is a veteran, an active duty military member, or a spouse or dependent child of a veteran/active duty member.
A veteran is a person who served in active military, naval or air service of the United States, and who has been discharged or released from there under conditions that are not dishonorable. Active duty in the armed forces of the United States means being on full-time duty in the U.S. army, navy, air force, marine corps, or coast guard.
If the Household Member is a spouse or dependent child of a veteran/active duty member, a veteran military record is created for the spouse or child and the veteran military details used are those of the veteran/active duty member. Example John Smith is in active military service as a major in the air force. John Smith is married to Linda Smith. So a case worker creates a Veteran Military Service record for Linda Smith with her veteran status as spouse of an active military member. The veteran/military details recorded on her record are those of her husband. |
