Home Loan Benefit
The ORVET Home Loan benefit is available only to eligible qualified veterans purchasing a primary residence within the State of Oregon. Veterans must establish their eligibility for the benefit by meeting at least one of the three following military service criteria:
Service in a theater of operations for which a Campaign or Expeditionary Ribbon or Medal is authorized by the United States
Served less than 210 consecutive days of active duty, if discharged or released from active duty due to a service-connected injury or illness
210 consecutive days of active-duty (other than active-duty for training)
To be eligible, a veteran must be within 30 years of release from active duty with a discharge characterized as honorable, or general under honorable conditions.
Eligibility Application Materials
Complete an Eligibility Application Form and fax or mail it to the ODVA office in Salem together with a copy of the veteran’s military discharge DD Form 214. The DD 214 indicates the nature of discharge and is generally the Member Copy 2, 4, or 6. Establishing eligibility does not guarantee loan approval. The veteran and the property must meet current ODVA underwriting guidelines.
