Do you qualify?

Pick the one that fits.

Educators

Qualifies
K–12 teachers, paraprofessionals, counselors, administrators, higher-education staff.
Proof of service
Employment ID or pay stub.
Worth knowing
Not just classroom teachers — paras, counselors and higher-ed staff all count.
“I spent years working alongside people who give everything to their community and live on a public servant’s income. This puts real money back in your pocket after closing — not a coupon, not a gimmick.”

Law Enforcement

Qualifies
Sworn officers, deputies, corrections officers, detectives, command staff, retired LE.
Proof of service
Badge, department ID, or current pay stub.
Worth knowing
Retired law enforcement still qualifies. So do corrections.
“I wore the badge for seven years — Metro Transit Police and MPD. I understand the schedule, the financial reality, and what this career costs you. You’ve earned every dollar of this.”

Fire & EMS

Qualifies
Career and volunteer firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, fire inspectors, dispatchers, EMS supervisors.
Proof of service
Department ID or current pay stub.
Worth knowing
Volunteer firefighters qualify too — and dispatchers, who usually assume they don’t.
“I worked alongside fire and EMS for years on the job. I know what a 24-hour shift costs you, and I know the income doesn’t always match the risk.”

Healthcare

Qualifies
Nurses, doctors, techs, allied health professionals, medical assistants, therapists, hospital staff.
Proof of service
Employer ID, pay stub, or professional license.
Worth knowing
Your professional license works as proof on its own — no employer letter needed.
“I responded to calls alongside healthcare workers for seven years. I saw how much you give, and how little the system gives back.”

Military

Qualifies
Active duty, reserve, National Guard, veterans — all branches, all service lengths.
Proof of service
DD-214, military ID, or current orders.
Worth knowing
Works alongside a VA loan. You keep every VA benefit and still get the check after closing.
“I worked alongside veterans every day on the job. This is one of the few programs that actually puts money back in your pocket.”
