Your Future. Your Benefits.

Transition Assistance Advisors maintain a large number of resources to help you and your Family receive services to fulfill your specific needs. Jump ahead to the benefits and entitlements provided for the National Guard and Veteran community by clicking on the categories below.

Do you have an Individual Transition Plan (ITP)?

An Individual Transition Plan ensures you have some ideas in place to help you prepare for the changes that may occur throughout your career in the National Guard. Before looking at your benefits and entitlements, have some questions prepared:

  1. What are your goals after leaving the military?
  2. Where do you plan to live?
  3. Do you need to continue your education or training?
  4. Will the job market, where you plan to relocate, provide you the employment you’re seeking?
  5. Do you have the right skills to compete for the job (s) you’re seeking?
  6. Will your spouse and family goals be met at your new location?
  7. Are you financially prepared to transition at this time?
  8. What do you plan to do for Health Care?
  9. How will you address the need for life insurance?
  10. Which benefits are you planning to use?

If you don’t have answers to these questions yet, a Transition Assistance Advisor can help you line up your options. Learn more about creating an ITP at TurboTap.org.
