I left the Army on February 16th after given two weeks notice of my discharge. As soon as I knew that I indicated that by filling out USAA’s transitioning service members resources. On March 1st I received no more income and since there wasn’t any time to apply and be approved for normal VA and financial resources that Veterans receive I applied to several other financial assistance programs since and the only resources we (my family and I) have received was emergency food stamps as I was denied or received no reply for rent or utilities assistance, so my last option was to withdraw my retirement savings to prevent being sent a nonpayment of rent this month as well as paying for utilities and debts I owe. However, when I received this money and tried to deposit it, it was immediately put on hold and only less than 10% of the balance was deposited, which I assumed had a $10,000 deposit limit. Because of these holds, which when I called today to see if they could remove it, they said they couldn’t and wouldn’t do anything until the hold was removed which is March 16, which by then I will be sent nonpayment of rent this month and allow the landlord the option to begin eviction. I will also have more late fees for returned payments. I chose USAA specifically because I thought they would understand and be sympathetic to my situation since USAA only serves service-members and their families but now it feels like our only relationship between us is for debt collection. These holds also prevent me from preparing to move out of our house this month to attend trade school. I can’t afford to wait until the 16th to use my money and because of this I can no longer recommend USAA as The Service-members Bank as my treatment from my transition to civilian life has been a nightmare due to them. I will probably have to go into more debt just to not have my family and I be homeless
