Yes, an honorable discharge from the Army active reserves does qualify you for USAA insurance. 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 be eligible for USAA membership, you must meet certain criteria, which include:

  • Active, retired, or honorably separated officers and enlisted personnel of the U.S. military
  • Officer candidates in commissioning programs (Academy, ROTC, OCS/OTS)
  • Adult children of USAA members who have or had a USAA auto or property insurance policy
  • Widows, widowers, and former spouses of USAA members who had a USAA auto or property insurance policy while married
If you have served in the Army active reserves and received an honorable discharge, you meet the first eligibility criterion for USAA membership. However, other factors, such as your specific job in the Army, the length of your service, and the nature of your discharge, may affect your eligibility for certain insurance products or services. To apply for USAA membership, you can visit their website or call their customer service hotline. You will need to provide documentation of your military service and discharge status, such as a DD Form 214 or other proof of honorable discharge. Once you are a USAA member, you can explore their various insurance options, including auto, home, renters, and life insurance.
