USAA (United Services Automobile Association) is a financial services company that provides banking, investment, and insurance services primarily to active duty military personnel, veterans, and their families. To be eligible for USAA membership, you must meet one of the following criteria:

  • Active, retired, or honorably separated officers and enlisted personnel of the U.S. military.
  • Officer candidates in commissioning programs such as ROTC and Service Academies.
  • Adult children of USAA members who have or had a USAA auto or property insurance policy.
  • Widows, widowers, and former spouses of USAA members who had a USAA auto or property insurance policy during their marriage.
If you have a general discharge, you may still be eligible for USAA membership, but it ultimately depends on the circumstances surrounding your discharge. Generally, a general discharge means that you were released from service under conditions that were less than honorable, but not as severe as a dishonorable discharge. USAA does not have a specific policy regarding general discharges, as eligibility is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Factors that may affect your eligibility for USAA membership with a general discharge include the reason for the discharge, the length of your service, and your overall military record. If you are uncertain about your eligibility for USAA membership, it's best to contact USAA directly to discuss your situation with a representative. They will be able to provide you with specific information and guidance on your eligibility for their services.
