USAA (United Services Automobile Association) is a financial services company that provides insurance, banking, and investment products to members of the military and their families. To become a member of USAA, you need to meet certain eligibility requirements. To be eligible for USAA membership, you must be one of the following:

  • Active duty military
  • Retired military
  • Honorably separated military personnel
  • Cadets and midshipmen at service academies, in advanced ROTC, or on ROTC scholarship
  • Spouses, widows/widowers, and former spouses of USAA members who joined USAA prior to or during the marriage and who have not remarried
  • Adult children of USAA members who have or had a USAA auto or property insurance policy
  • Individuals who have served in the military and received a discharge type of "Honorable"
  • Individuals who are in the process of joining the military and have received a Delayed Entry Program (DEP) form
If you are a veteran who served in the Army Reserve from 1966-1972 and your father was a WWII veteran, you may be eligible for USAA membership as long as you meet one of the other eligibility criteria listed above. To apply for USAA membership, you will need to provide documentation to prove your eligibility.
