Yes.
Your DIEMS date is only used as a reference to which of the 3 Retirement Plans you fall under. Your BASD is the date used to determine Retirement Eligibility.
Absolutely - all active duty Veterans current federal employees of the Executive Branch of the Government. Just like Civil Service employees, Veterans' service time counts toward overall federal retirement. Reservists are only temporary federal employees when they're on duty.
No, the U.S. Army does not have a 15-year retirement option. Typically, active duty service members are eligible to retire with full benefits after 20 years of active service. Reserve time does not count towards active service retirement, but it may count towards retirement in the Reserve Component.
No. Federal consolidation loans are still insured by the federal government, still show in the NSLDS, and still count toward the limit.
The Delayed Entry Program (DEP) does not count towards retirement eligibility or service time in the military. Time spent in DEP is considered inactive service and does not contribute to the calculation of retirement benefits. Only active duty service counts towards retirement, so once a service member officially begins their active duty, that time will count towards their retirement eligibility.
No, zero dollar payments do not count toward loan forgiveness.
No
The STAAR is and is not going to count. It is not going to count in the school's position, as in if the school is already exemplary, it is going to stay exemplary. The STAAR will count toward someone's final score just like the TAKS though. The rules have not changed just because a new test came out.
probably not except for any testing for a position. if a veteran then you may receive exra points toward final score
