COMDTINST 1900.2A
transition benefits described in enclosure (3).
Eligibility for transition benefits depends on the
nature and characterization of a member's discharge.
In general, members must meet the following
conditions to be eligible for benefits: (a) were on
active duty after 30 September 1994; (b) were or
will be involuntarily separated with a qualifying
SPD code; and (c) were or will be discharged under
conditions characterized as either honorable or
general under honorable conditions. Specific
eligibility criteria for transition benefits are
provided in enclosure (4). A transition matrix is
provided in enclosure (5) summarizing the categories
of personnel who are eligible for each benefit and
service.
Implementation. Each commanding officer (CO) has the
c.
responsibility for ensuring that separating and retiring
members and their family members receive transition
benefits and/or services to which they are entitled. To
meet this requirement, each command will coordinate their
transition program with the cognizant administrative
support and Work-Life staff. The command will identify
all prospective separating and retiring members, advising
them of locally available transition programs and
services. To provide transition assistance services,
commands will implement one of two program models
described briefly below and in enclosure (6).
Commands with Work-Life staffs. ISC and HSC Work-
(1)
Life staffs are designated transition/assistance
centers and will coordinate and/or deliver
employment services as identified in enclosure (2).
In providing services, Work-Life staffs may utilize
resources/programs/materials provided by other
Federal departments (e.g. -- DoL and DVA),
military/community subject matter experts,
government-sponsored enterprises, and private
organizations. If government-sponsored enterprise
or organization materials are used, such material,
must be entirely educational in nature and cannot
contain the name or logo of or refer to any
commercial products, service or company. A
government-sponsored enterprise is an enterprise
that is created by Federal statues, has a board of
Directors partially appointed by the President, is
regulated by the Federal government, has a
statutory purpose of increasing the supply of funds
to mortgage lenders, and has no ability to
originate mortgage loans to consumers. A private
organization is a private, non-profit, self-insured
organization that is neither financially nor
legally linked to any for profit entity nor
commercially underwritten by any for profit entity.
