Military Application Assistance Programs
Professional License Portability and State Registration for Servicemembers and their Spouses
The federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) authorizes service members or their spouses who currently hold a valid license in good standing in another state, district, or territory to practice in California within the same profession or vocation, if they relocate to California because of military orders.
Military Veterans
The Military Veterans Application Assistance Program aids those who are transitioning from military service to civilian employment. In some cases, veterans possess transferable skills that help meet the minimum experience and training requirements to apply for a contractor’s license. This program offers expedited processing of veterans’ applications, including the evaluation of transferable military experience and training, as well as education.
CSLB assists military veterans by providing:
Expedited application processing;
Direct contact with CSLB staff;
Licensing staff specially trained to evaluate transferable military training and experience from all branches of the military in an effort to meet minimum licensure requirements; and
Evaluation of college transcripts to help verify acceptable educational credit (in addition to military training and experience).
Evaluating Military Experience to Qualify for Licensure
CSLB's Licensing staff will review your DD-214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty with discharge status) or California Driver’s License with Veteran endorsement and the education and training transcript provided by your branch of the military. If looking to use your military experience to meet the required experience for licensure include a copy of your Joint Service Transcripts (military transcripts) for evaluation.
CSLB staff will evaluate your civilian and military experience and education. If your experience and education are sufficient to document the required four years of applicable experience within the last 10 years, you will be approved to take the appropriate licensing examination(s). All license applicants must pass a law and business examination, as well as the trade examination. If your experience and training meet only a portion of the requirements for licensure, CSLB will contact you directly and provide you with suggestions on how to fulfill any incomplete requirements.
Military Spouses/Domestic Partners
The Military Spouse/Domestic Partner Application Assistance Program expedites the processing of an application for licensure for an applicant who meets both of the following requirements:
Submits satisfactory evidence that he or she is married to, in a domestic partnership with, or in another legal union with an active duty member of the Armed Forces of the United States who is assigned to a duty station in California under official active duty military orders; and
Holds a current and valid license in another state, district, or territory of the U.S. in the classification or trade for which he or she seeks a license from CSLB.
CSLB is in the process of updating applications to include a question regarding the applicant’s possible eligibility for one of the military assistance programs. If the application you submit does not reference the military assistance programs, please include a written statement regarding your eligibility for one of the programs.
If you have questions or believe you qualify for one of the military application assistance programs, please contact CSLB's Licensing Division.

Military Spouse Licenses
The Division of Professions & Occupations (DPO) strives to support the mobility and transportability of military spouses’ professional licenses.
Pursuant to Colorado House Bill 20-1326 Create Occupational Credential Portability Program(opens in new window), which Governor Polis signed on June 25, 2020, spouses of active-duty military personnel stationed in Colorado may obtain temporary licenses for any profession or occupation under the purview of DPO(opens in new window), if they hold a credential in good standing from another US state or territory and meet certain other requirements.
Key Features of Military Spouse Licenses:
There are no fees associated with these licenses
Licenses are valid for three years from the date of issuance
Licenses are non-renewable
There are no practice restrictions with these licenses. Each licensed military spouse is subject to, and must practice pursuant to, the same laws and regulations as other licensees in the same profession.
Examples of professions not eligible for these licenses include real estate brokers, EMS providers, teachers, and attorneys. These professions are regulated by agencies other than DPO, and only DPO-regulated professions are eligible.
To apply for a military spouse license:
Create an account on the Division’s online licensing platform(opens in new window) and login
Once you login, click "Apply for a New License"
Next, expand the relevant professional area (e.g., “Dental Applications” for dentists and dental hygienists)
Then select "start" next to the "Military Spouse" application for the specific profession for which you wish to apply (e.g., Military Spouse - Cosmetologist or Military Spouse - Dentist)
At this point, you will be taken to the beginning of the online application where you will answer questions about yourself and provide documentation of your out-of-state license, your spouse’s military orders for Colorado, and your military identification.
Additional Licensure Assistance
Federal reimbursement for licensure costs: Each military service branch may reimburse spouses - depending on eligibility requirements - up to $500 for certain licensure costs resulting from relocations that cross US state lines.

BENEFITS FOR ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBERS STATIONED IN CONNECTICUT
LICENSING
Renewals
Various state laws allow service members to have their licenses, certificates, permits, or registrations renewed while they are on active duty (CGS §§ 4-61cc, 10-146b(b), 19a-88b, 20-228, & 20-306). For example, the Department of Public Health is required to renew credentials issued to service members on active duty (e.g., nurse and dentist). In these instances, the service members must renew their credentials within a year of discharge.
They are also exempt from annual and biennial license and registration fees and occupational taxes while they are on active duty and for one year after they are discharged (CGS § 27-102a).
Waivers
Various state laws require some government entities to certify, waive, grant, or award certain licenses, registrations, examinations, or training for service members with military experience or qualifications similar to those otherwise required to be credentialed (CGS § 7-294d, 14-36, 14-50, 19a-179, 20-12, 20-333, 20-335, 29-161q, 31-22u, & 51-81b). Under certain circumstances, the law waives the application and initial license fee.
In-state Rate
Active-duty personnel stationed in-state pay the resident rate for fishing, trapping, and hunting licenses (CGS §§ 26-34a, -86a, & -86c). The resident rate is lower than nonresident rate.
TAX
Income Tax
The law gives service members serving in a combat zone a 180-day extension after combat service to file state income tax returns without penalty or interest (CGS § 12-724(a)(1)).
Under state law, compensation paid by the United States for service members not domiciled in the state is not considered as income derived within Connecticut for state income tax purposes (CGS § 12-711 (d)).
Additionally, according to the Department of Revenue Service (DRS), because combat pay and hostile fire or imminent danger special pay are not taxable for federal income tax purposes, they are also not subject to state income tax (DRS Informational Publication IP 2015(24), Connecticut Income Tax Information for Armed Forces Personnel and Veterans).
Property Tax
State law requires municipalities to waive the interest on delinquent property taxes owed by certain active military members serving out-of-state for up to one year. They must pay all waived interest if they do not pay within one year of when they return (CGS § 12-146e, as amended by PA 16-191).
Additionally, state law exempts from property tax one motor vehicle belonging to, leased to, or held in trust for a service member regardless of where the vehicle is being garaged (CGS § 12-81(53)).
EMPLOYMENT
State and Municipal Employees
Under state law, service members are entitled to employment reinstatement protection after returning from service in the armed forces (CGS §§ 5-255 & 7-462).
Under certain limited circumstances, war service can be used to purchase retirement credit (CGS §§ 5-180(b) & 7-436b). Service members who leave state employment can continue to make retirement contributions (CGS § 5-180).
Teachers and Superintendents
The law generally provides employment reinstatement protection to any professional employee certified by the State Board of Education and employed by a board of education who leaves to enter the armed forces (CGS § 10-156d).

Federal Housing Administration [FHA] and Veterans Administration [VA] Loan Programs
A. LOAN PROGRAMS OF THE FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION (FHA)
INTRODUCTION
Besides conventional loans discussed in the previous chapter, FHA loans and VA loans are the other two major sources of home ownership financing in the United States. FHA loans are residential loans from private sector lenders that the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), a division of the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), insures against financial loss to the lender should a borrower default on the loan payments. VA loans are residential loans from private sector lenders that the Veterans’ Administration (VA) guarantees against financial loss to the lender arising from a borrower’s default of the loan payments.
FHA INSURED LOANS
Congress established the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) in 1934 to encourage lenders to make real estate loans by providing them with government-backed insurance against financial loss from borrower default. The anticipated result of the legislation was the increase in home ownership that has occurred over these years. In addition to insuring lenders against financial loss from borrower default, the actions of the FHA over the years have led to lower downpayment requirements for borrowers, longer loan terms, positive amortization of the loan amount over the term of the loan, and more liberal loan qualification standards for the borrower. In 1965 the FHA became a part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
FHA’s threefold purpose is to assist in the stabilization of the mortgage market, to provide an adequate home financing system through its mortgage loan insurance program, and to promote improved housing standards. Toward these ends, FHA loans require an appraisal by an approved appraiser to confirm an adequate market value and to determine whether the buildings and neighborhoods involved meet the statutory standards. In order to fund the loan insurance program, the borrower must pay a premium for the FHA insurance (although sometimes the seller may pay the premium for the borrower).
Until December of 1983 the Secretary of HUD set the interest rate on FHA loans, a rate that was often lower than the prevailing market rate. For this reason, FHA allowed lenders to charge sellers discount points to compensate lenders for making FHA loans at the lower rates. HUD no longer sets FHA interest rates. Instead, negotiations between lenders and borrowers establish FHA interest rates; and the seller or borrower may agree to pay any discount points charged, as is the case in conventional loans.
THE FHA INSURES HOME LOANS
FHA does not make mortgage loans or provide housing. It only INSURES the mortgage loans made by private lenders, provided such loans meet FHA’s guidelines and obtain approval. Through the fees collected from FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP), FHA is a self-supporting government agency. Most FHA loans are now made by or through a Direct Endorsement lender. To be approved by FHA for Direct Endorsement (D.E.), a lender must meet criteria established by FHA. After gaining FHA approval, the D.E. lender has the authority to approve purchasers and subdivisions without prior submission to FHA. If the D.E. lender chooses, it may hire a staff of appraisers to do all appraisals; or it may use FHA-approved fee appraisers.

Military Resources
Members of the armed forces and their families are often more affected than other groups by licensing restrictions because of frequent relocations. To ease this burden, the Utah Legislature has authorized certain fee waivers and license exemptions for qualifying military personnel and military spouses.
Initial License and License Renewal
DOPL requires a processing fee for initial license applications and license renewal. This fee varies by profession. The Utah Legislatures allows qualifying military service members to waive initial license and license renewal fees. Full-time active duty service members should submit the fee waiver request form with their initial and renewal license application.
Inactive License
Qualifying licensees who wish to maintain their license but who are not currently practicing in the profession can apply for inactive status. In some cases, changing a license to inactive status will remove certain CE requirements. Qualifying military service members who change their license to inactive status or who renew an inactive license can submit a fee waiver. Please note that not all professions have inactive status as an option. To check if your profession has inactive license status, refer to Utah Administrative Rule R156-1-305.
Licensing for Military Spouses
Spouses of military service members stationed in Utah are permitted to work in licensed professions without obtaining a Utah license as long as they possess an active license from another state or territory of the United States. Military spouses may need to explain this little-known benefit to an employer or member of the public questioning whether an out-of-state license is valid. To help, the Division has created a verification letter military spouses can use to show an employer or member of the public that explains this exemption.
