can you get discharged from the military if you get an inheritance?

No.  I've never heard of discharge for that reason.

good lord!, how can you say your a loser when you are actually retiring with a PENSION!!! how many people can say that! not to mention you stuck it out in the military  for 20 years. ok, sure it would be better to get to e9 but as you know it can be a long hard crawl in the air force. the best advice i can give you is this "GET YOUR DEGREE!" before you leave, its the military's best deal.  if you had high enough asvab test scores to get in the air force there is no excuse! i still owe thousands for my education so don't let that happen to you. good luck and thanks for serving.

If you are the receiver of the inheritance, the tax has already been paid by the estate.  The money you received is tax-free.  My condolences on your lose.

You may be able to go into a judge and get it taken off your record.  It it was long enough ago and its not something that you have any connection to now.  Its worth a try.  I have known people who have them taken off their record for joining the military, so i'm sure they can do it for other things.

Be a man and finish your enlistment, get an honorable discharge.

I believe the annuity disbursement you receive is the retirement benefit and will not change.  You can contact the Army personnel office at any base and they should be able to tell you.

Generally speaking, you do not pay taxes on money you inherit - in fact, you don't even have to declare this money on your income tax return.\n\nHOWEVER...\n\nAny tax that is due on the money that is left behind by a decedent must be paid by the decedent's estates before the money is distributed. \n\nUnless you're talking about a ton of money, the government pretty much stays away - for the 2006 tax year, each taxpapyer is allowed an estate tax exemption on the first $2 million of the estate. If your mother's estate wasn't this large, chances are you're not going to be paying estate taxes.\n\nThe rules change somewhat if you're inheriting an IRA - and depend on whether the IRA was funded with before tax or after tax dollars. Roth IRAs are funded with after tax dollars - meaning that the person who funded the account had already paid taxes on the money that was deposited - so you'll never be taxed again when the Roth is cashed out. Traditional IRAs are funded with pre-tax money - you get to set that aside from your paycheck and Uncle Sam taxes only the remainder of your salary. Don't worry - they get theirs in the end - taxes are due on any traditional IRA at the time of withdrawal.\n\nAnother big caution - you would pay taxes on any income generated by your inheritance. For example, if your rich uncle left you a portfolio of stocks and bonds - you'd start paying taxes on any interest or dividends that accrued once those instruments were in your hands.\n\nDefinitely see a tax professional. This is one of those situations you don't want to mess up!

You can move to anywhere you'd like and you can still keep you benefits. They are awarded to you and should not be taken away. If they are you may appeal and get them back.. Check with any VA office for any more info.. They will tell you the same thing..\n\nSorry to hear about your husband and good luck in the future. Go to your family.

Yes.  There are lots of different types of SSI payments, and different types of inheritance, so whether or not the inheritance affects your ability to continue to recieve the payments the year you inherit depends on what payments you recieve. (Is the estate in money? If property, will you live there?)\n\nYou can always inherit -- the result, if large enough cash or converatble to cash with some exceptions (not as many as there used to be) will probably be that you will lose ssi payments for awhile, maybe that month, maybe longer.

Well a few things can happen. Alot of it actually depends on the military unit they went AWOL from. First off, as soon as we change thier duty status to AWOL, we hold all pay and allowances... we inventory all property they leave behind within 24 hours. The Army has a group of military police called "AWOL Apprehension" that are informed and a notice goes thru NCIC to all law enforcement agency's. After 10 days we send thier parents a letter explaining that they are AWOL and explaining duty and honor. At the 31 day mark, we begin processing the paperwork to drop them from the military rolls and seperate them from the Army for desertion. They are given a seperation code on thier official records and DD214 that codes them as a dessertor.  With that code, it is difficult for them to apply to any college, they will be turned down for all state and federal jobs and they cannot recieve alot of different loans... to include alot of consumer loans.  Life at that point kinda sucks for them... and usually so does thier pay.  McDonalds and Burger King have even started denying them employment. If you can't get a job at Burger King... well that rests on it's own merits....lol.

Ours has been discharged now for about a year and a half and we are in the process of purchasing a 4 bdr, 2bth home. So far we have the home but are now looking for a piece of land to put it on. All we had to do was show proof of discharge and what all was paid off in it. Since you have no money to put down I would check around and find out what ya had to have down. If you had to have a down payment I would try to get a co-signer, or look into FHA, HUD or Section 8 or any Government loan programs to see if I could get help from any of them. Good luck and wish ya the best..... :0)

Keep in mind that "retiring" from the military generally does not mean you retire - it simply means you are eligible for a military pension - which is about half of your highest pay rate while you were in.  Given that you also lose a number of other benefits when you retire (housing allowances, etc.), living on a half-salary is not viable for most people so in all likelihood you will still be working past the age of 42.

I believe you have to pay on any inheritance you receive.\n\nHere's a website that explains it and also has external links for more info:  http://www.answers.com/Inheritance%20Tax

If you genuinely can't hack the AIT for the MOS you've selected, I believe you get to reclass for something that may be more your speed.  Otherwise, you get recycled to the next Co. coming through.  At least that's what happened in my unit.  I've actually never heard of anyone getting put out of the Army altogether.

it also depends on the branch. personally i can only speak for the air force when i say that yes they can use it to get discharged...stateside. in Iraq, though, it would be strictly case by case. and, no, they would not get in trouble for it. there would be so much more controversy surrounding the "don't ask, don't tell" rule if they doled out punishments for it. again, i am speaking from an air force standpoint.

the only moves the military pays for are  pcs  permanent change  of  station. and they will move you back to your hometown after   you finish your time. they dont pay when you decide to leave the service member. thats on you to foot the bill not them. the service member isnt moving so they dont care
