DD FORM 214

There has been a lot of confusion recently about filing your DD 214 with the County Clerk because of identity thefts. To use your GI Bill you need a certified copy of your DD Form 214. There is a way to get certified (not notarized) copies of the 214 without filing your DD Form 214 in the local Court House.
