The Short Version
Page 214 provides free, educational tools to help veterans and their families understand their benefits. Everything on this site is for estimation and informational purposes only. We are not the VA, we are not your lawyer, and we are not your financial advisor. Always verify your benefits with the appropriate agency or a qualified professional.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using Page 214 (page214.org), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. Purpose and Scope
Page 214 is an independent, privately operated website that provides free calculators, guides, and reference tools related to U.S. military and veteran benefits. All content is designed to help users become more informed as they work with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs), financial professionals, and other qualified advisors.
3. Not Affiliated with the Federal Government
Page 214 is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Social Security Administration (SSA), or any other federal, state, or local government agency.
The use of terms such as "VA," "TRICARE," "GI Bill," "TSP," and other government program names is for informational reference only and does not imply any official relationship.
4. No Professional Advice
Nothing on Page 214 constitutes financial, legal, tax, medical, or VA advice. The tools and content are for educational and estimation purposes only.
Calculations, projections, and benefit descriptions are based on publicly available information including federal statutes, regulations, VA published rates, DFAS pay tables, and official government websites. However, individual eligibility, rates, and outcomes depend on personal circumstances that these tools cannot fully account for.
Always consult a qualified professional — such as a VA-accredited claims agent, Veterans Service Organization representative, financial advisor, tax professional, or attorney — before making decisions about your benefits, retirement, finances, or healthcare.
5. No Guarantees of Accuracy
Page 214 makes reasonable efforts to keep information current and accurate based on publicly available sources. However, benefit rates, eligibility rules, and government policies change frequently. Page 214 makes no warranty or guarantee — express or implied — regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any information, calculation, or estimate provided.
Errors, omissions, and outdated information may exist. Users are responsible for verifying all information with official sources before taking action.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Page 214, its creator, and its contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — the site, its tools, or any information provided. This includes, without limitation, any financial decisions made based on calculations or content from this site.
You use Page 214 at your own risk.
