Memorializes Department of Defense to authorize changes on certain military service forms of veterans who are transgender.
This New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 90) requests the U.S. Department of Defense to allow transgender veterans to update their DD Form 214 (military discharge document) to reflect their current legal names and genders. It directly affects transgender veterans who face barriers in accessing benefits like medical care, employment preferences, and funeral services due to outdated information on their military records. The resolution asks the DoD to authorize changes to the DD Form 214, which currently cannot be modified after service, to align with veterans' current identities. This would eliminate discrepancies between their military records and current legal documents, reducing denial of benefits and potential discrimination.
