Home loan benefit is one of the various veterans benefits that the Department of Veterans Affairs provides. However, not all service personnel are qualified for this benefit as they differ in service periods.

Service period is one basis to establish the eligibility of a military service staff for a VA home loan. For service during wartime, the military should have at least 90 days on active duty and have been released other than disreputable conditions. On the other hand, during the peace time, a service person should have a minimum of 181 days of continuous active duty and have been discharged other than disreputable conditions. Other service periods and position of the military may be subject for VA's endorsement and investigation.
