Social security help, things to consider
S. §§1521-22. • Service - To be eligible for non-service-connected pensions, you must have 90 days of active duty and at least one day in a "period of war. " For those enrolled in the military after 1980, however, the requirement is simply a full period of active duty. Specifically, an individual who enlisted for the first time on or after September 8, 1980, is required to complete a minimum period of service, either twenty-four months of continuous active duty or the full period for which the veteran was called to active duty.
