Out of curiousity does NFCU actually verify eligibility? My parents are vets and I have a copy of my mom's DD214 but NFCU hasn't asked for it yet... joined about a month ago.

They can, and if they do and you can't produce evidence, they can freeze all your accounts. There are reports of that happening, though for the most part they seem to rely on the honor system. I haven't heard a peep from them, for instance. Still, it's a good idea to keep that DD214 handy, and to get the paperwork in order first, before becoming a member.
This is why I waited until I received my Grandfathers proof of his military service in case they asked for proof. I didn't want my accounts frozen until his records arrived. I offered to submit the documents when I first opened my checking account, but they said that was okay that I didn't need to. They did say keep them handy in case you ever needed to provide proof. Glad I waited becuase it took 2 years for them to arrive.

On a seperate note, 2 years to get military records. Sheesh that is slow, it must have to do with personnel shortage or the pandemic.
The last time i asked for a copy of my dd214 i got it in less than 90 days, and when i requested a veteran id card that also was about 90 days but the requests were pre pandemic and i know the vic came from the dept of veterans affairs.
Yeah it redicoulus how low it took, but I finally got it! I didn't get a DD214 form, I got NA Form 13038, Certification of Military Service. This is response that I received below in the screen shot.
I submitted a request fairly recently and they didn't take very long at all. Maybe 2 weeks at the most?
When I requested that document myself, I recieved a final pay notice. When I asked that company listed in your document to find it for me, they got me a NA Form 13038 just like you got. I wonder if I could have asked them to provide me that as well without going through the company. I don't know why the same response got two different documents back from the archives.

I submitted my reqeust on 4/21/20, so it did take 2 years and a month. I had to go back and confirm the date.

I wonder if the company dropped the ball and hadn't bothered attempting to find the documents until the pandemic shutdown was over or if putting together the proof itself was just obscenely more difficult than for my request.
Great to have now, all the same.

I called after a year of waiting, and they gave excuses for the delay. I just then forgot about it after so much time had passed, and my sister asked if I had ever gotten our Grandfathers military service records a month before I got it. I was contemplating calling to get a refund and all of sudden I got the email with the explanation and the certificate. I did receive this email 3 months after my initial submission but nothing else.
