Key Considerations
Disability Benefits
If you're receiving VA disability benefits, document your current ratings and payments before reinstatement. The impact of returning to active duty on disability benefits is under review.
Healthcare Coverage
Track your VA healthcare usage and any ongoing treatment plans. Coordinate with VA healthcare providers about transitioning care if returning to active duty.
Education Benefits
If using GI Bill benefits, document your remaining entitlement. Returning to active duty may affect your education benefits status.
Pro Tip
Take screenshots or download PDFs of your current VA benefit status from eBenefits. This documentation will be valuable during your reinstatement process.
