My husband got general under honorable conditions his Reentry code is 4 & separation code jkk does he get any benefits or what ? what now ?

Hi Janice. Honestly on the civilian side, the general under honorable makes close to no difference, except for VA education benefits. He needs to accept whatever the Army gives him and contact a local Veteran Service Officer who will help appeal the DOD decision for an honorable discharge. I’ve seen it happen many times before; it’s a process, but there is a decent success rate, especially if the discharge is related to substance abuse or mental health.

He should also immediately file a disability compensation claim (can be with the same VSO) which will earn him tax free compensation monthly and potential for approval into VR&E. This is an employment program the VA offers to disabled veterans, ideally 30% or higher, to gain employment. If it requires education, the VA will pay for tuition, books, laptop, and provide a monthly stipend similar to the GI Bill. As a disabled veteran, he will receive hiring preference from federal, and most state and city/county governments.

I know leaving the army can be scary, but there are resources out there to set him up for success. Bottom line is he needs to contact his local VSO, VA, Vet Center ASAP.

VA medical care and disability should be filed by a veteran service officer. If he's a combat veteran he has VA coverage for 5 years while claims are filed. I became a PA and worked inside DoD for 20 years with many OTH and dishonorable discharged combat veterans but often still got care at VA or Vet centers. Working for the Wounded, Ill or injured you find ways to get our service members care.

Yeah if he suffered any service connected disabilities and also can get Healthcare at VA, just got to enroll. The only veterans who I ever seen get zero benefits are the ones with dishonorable discharges(half of them are bogus discharges)

If he has a "Under Honorable" General discharge, he should still be able to get benefits.
Only a dishonorable discharge disqualifys you from getting benefits.

Yes. Got to the VA

Since he didn't get dishonorable, He should be eligible for VA benefits as long as he fits other criteria that's looked at when he speaks to a VA Representative (enrollment).

Because some UCMJ laws have changed over the years, please tell us his dates of service.

The best thing for him to do is apply and see

What did he do to receive this type of discharge, doesn't look good, he's done, probably won't receive any benefits, what ever he got into he's the only one who has that info other then his Command

When i was in that type of discharge was usually upgraded after a number of yrs. He probably wont receive benefits. If he lost in the appeals process then it looks very dim.
You didnt mention the nature of the circumstances, nor whether he lost rank
