Legally, a Veteran is a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable.
Additionally, WorkOne can service Veterans who meet the following conditions: 1) any individual who served more than 180 days on active duty (not for Reserve or National Guard training); 2) any individual who served on active duty and was released because of a service-connected illness or injury (does not have to meet the 180-day rule); 3) any individual who was in the National Guard or Reserves and was called to active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge is authorized (for example, Panama, Grenada, Haiti, Beirut, Persian Gulf, Desert Shield, or Desert Storm--though one did not have to have served in that area).
Legally, an Eligible Spouse is defined as the spouse of any of the following individuals: 1) any veteran who died of a service-connected disability; 2) any member of the Armed Forces serving on active duty who is listed in one or more of the following categories, and has been so listed for a total of more than 90 days: a) missing in action; b) captured in the line of duty by a hostile force; or c) forcibly detained or interned in line of duty by a foreign government or power; 3) any veteran who has a total disability resulting from a service-connected disability, as evaluated by the Department of Veterans' Affairs; or 4) any veteran who died while a disability a indicated in (3) was in existence.
