if you are referring to a VA Home loan it is a benefit that veteran's earn if they are discharged honorably or under other then honorable conditions. You cannot earn it with a dishonorable discharge. It is a home loan program that guarantees the bank if the veteran defaults on the home mortgage the VA will step in and pay them a certain percentage (depending on the amount of the loan)
The first requirement to obtain a VA loan is that you must be a veteran or current member of a branch of the United States Military. If discharged, it must have been an honorable discharge.
To qualify for a VA loan, a person must be have either 4 years of active duty or 6 years of Reserve military service and have an honorable discharge. A DD 214 is required.

MERS isn't "deactivated" on a loan. MERS is a servicing agent for numerous lenders and it is the actual mortgagee on a mortgage.

When the mortgage has been paid off then MERS will record a discharge.
