Important Notice for Active Duty Military and Recently Discharged Military Veterans and Spouses

Pursuant to the Veterans Full Employment Act of 2013, military veterans discharged within one (1) year of application for licensing or registration qualify for expedited processing of applications and review of equivalency requests for military training. The Board will expedite review and processing of applications of any military schools or courses submitted as qualifying equivalents for required educational licensing/registration educational standards. The Board extends these privileges to active duty military, including reservists called to active duty for training or deployment. These provisions also fully apply to spouses of active duty and qualifying veterans.

To further comply with the letter and spirit of the Act, veterans counseling assistance is available to qualifying veterans, active duty personnel, and spouses on application, licensing and credentialing issues. The Board Executive Director, Ronda Butler Washington, and a panel from the Board serving on the Credentials Committee will serve as the Board liaisons and counselors to any qualifying veteran, active duty service member, or dependent spouse who requires information, guidance or assistance on issues relating to licensing and registration. Please contact the Executive Director by telephone at (410) 764-4750.

This Board stands ready to assist all qualified military veterans in any way possible to meet the Act’s provisions. Should any Act provisions be further amended (or as further information becomes available) information will be posted on this website.
