MVAA Offers Complimentary Discharge Papers and Essential Support for Michigan Veterans and Their Families

The Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) is reminding veterans they can request a complimentary copy of their DD-214 form by visiting Michigan.gov/DD214requestform. MVAA Director Brian L. Love noted a disturbing trend of companies charging veterans up to $200 for this essential document, often leaving them empty-handed. “No veteran should incur costs for this crucial document,” Love emphasized. The DD-214 is vital for accessing benefits like GI Bill assistance and VA home loans. The MVAA also offers support through accredited VSOs in locations such as Alpena and Grand Rapids. For help, call 1-800-MICH-VET or check Michigan.gov/MVAA.
