Fact Sheet

TurboTAP ( www.TurboTAP.org ) is an easy to use, interactive Web portal that provides life-long support to separating military servicemembers (Active Duty, Guard and Reserve) and their families. It is a single source starting point for accessing key resources available for servicemembers transitioning out of the military at any point in their military career.

TurboTAP was developed through a collaborative partnership between the Department of Defense, Department of Labor, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Education, Small Business Administration, the National Veterans Corporation and the National Guard Bureau. These organizations have integrated their best online tools, information and support services for the benefit of transitioners returning to their homes, communities and local employers.

TurboTAP is available for life. Each transitioning servicemember is encouraged to establish a TurboTAP Account within 48 hours of attending a Transition Assistance Program or as soon as they learn about this important resource. A TurboTAP Account gives the servicemember assess to the online TurboTAP Individual Transition Planning Tool and provides them with benefit email alerts when benefits and support services change.   

Main TurboTAP features include:

• A multi-media tutorial explaining how to use TurboTAP
• Downloadable Pre-separation and Transition Guides, 4 helpful checklists and sources of in-person assistance
• An Employment Hub with links to job boards, a resume tool and job search assistance
• A VA Benefits Hub with a full range of benefits, including a focus on health issues
