This applies to you if any of this is true
| YOUR SITUATION | WHY THIS LOAN FITS | GO TO |
|---|---|---|
| You separated years ago and never used it | Extremely common, and entirely fixable. Eligibility does not lapse | VA entitlement → |
| You have just left and are starting a civilian job | New employment is workable. How it is documented matters | VA purchase loans → |
| You are self-employed since separating | Income can be read differently. This is where a broker earns their place | Self-employed → |
| Your credit took a knock during transition | Very common in the first year out, and not disqualifying by itself | FHA loans → |
| You already own and want to refinance | You may be able to move a conventional loan onto VA terms | VA cash out → |
| You are a surviving spouse | Eligibility can pass, and it is frequently overlooked | VA entitlement → |

What a post-separation file needs
Your DD-214
The discharge document. It underpins the whole eligibility question.
A Certificate of Eligibility
We order it for you from the DD-214.
Evidence of current income
Civilian employment, self-employment or benefits, depending on your position.
A credit history the lender can price
Transition years are often untidy. Different lenders take very different views.
Clarity on any prior VA loan
Whether entitlement was used, and whether it can be restored.
Time to prepare
Slightly more than an active-duty file, because the income picture is usually newer.
No rates or figures here on purpose. Yours depend on your credit, the county and the program. A licensed loan officer gives you real numbers on the call.
What to watch for, and we will not bury it
New employment needs the right documentation
Starting a civilian job does not stop you buying. How the offer and start date are evidenced is what matters.
Transition-year credit is common
A rough patch during separation is not disqualifying. It does mean the file needs placing with the right lender.
Disability status can affect the funding fee
Some veterans are exempt entirely. It is worth confirming rather than assuming either way.

What veterans ask after separating
Does my VA benefit expire?
No. There is no deadline. Veterans who separated decades ago use it regularly.
I just started a civilian job. Can I still buy?
Usually yes. How the employment is documented matters more than how long you have been there.
My credit suffered during transition. Does that stop me?
Not by itself. Lenders take very different views on recent history, which is exactly why shopping the file matters.
Am I exempt from the funding fee?
Some veterans are, depending on disability status. It is worth confirming properly rather than assuming.
What if I used my benefit while serving?
Entitlement can often be restored, particularly if the property has been sold. We check that first.
