Yes, but not for members with Bad Conduct/Dishonorable.

Members with and OTH (Other Than Honorable Discharges) are still eligible and can receive a burial flag. There are no laws that prevent someone from purchasing and draping a casket with a flag however one will not be provided military honors by the guard to fold and present it to the next of kin if you have a dishonorable discharge. You must have at least an Honorable or OTH discharge.

What is a honorable discharge COG?

A COG (Convenience of the Government) Discharge is the government's way of backing out of its commitment to an enlisted person without doing harm to that person's future. They are most often used to cancel the contract when the recruit is injured in training to the point where there is a long recovery time or a full recovery is not anticipated. It is a "good" discharge so long as the word "honorable" is attached to it. With an honorable discharge a person is able to claim military service and, in many cases, even enlist again once the physical problem has resolved itself. He is also most probably eligible for a 5-point Federal Civilian Service hiring preference as a veteran. It is an administrative discharge (as opposed to a judicial discharge like a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge).

Can a person with another than honorable discharge receive VA Benefits?

You'd really have to check with the Veterans Administration to be sure, however, unless the regulation has changed - no. I believe one year after separation you can apply to upgrade that "Other Than Honorable" to an "Honorable" discharge and then be eligible for benefits. A lot hinges on your civilian record since discharge. Again, I'm going from memory and everyone knows that's not reliable, so to be sure call your local VA representative and ask them. They can cite you chapter and verse and will even assist you in the application process when the time requirement is up. If anyone else out there can help this guy or provide more accurate information PLEASE do.


Can a person who is discharge with a dishornable discharge get benefits from the government?

No they cannot. "A dishonorable discharge renders a service member unable to receive veteran's benefits. A service member is stripped of all entitlement, despite any previous honorable service or awards that he or she may have received. A dishonorably discharged service member is not even legally designated a veteran. According to the definition of terms in the U.S. Code Collection Title 38 Part 1 Chapter 1 Section 101, "the term 'veteran' means a person who served in the active military, naval, or air force and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable."
