AT A GLANCE

- Eligibility depends on ID.me verification and a 12-month separation window
What is changing?
In a November 11 update, OpenAI said more than 20,000 transitioning servicemembers and veterans claimed a free year of ChatGPT Plus during the past year. The company says participants have used the program to organize job searches, rehearse interviews, and translate military experience into civilian résumé language.
Alongside free access, OpenAI Academy and community partners held more than a dozen training sessions for the military community, reaching nearly 1,000 people. Seven more events are scheduled before year-end. These are company-reported participation figures, not an independent impact assessment.
The offer covers ID.me-verified U.S. veterans and retirees who left full-time service within the past 12 months, plus active servicemembers leaving within the next 12 months. Eligibility is limited to a personal account, and the offer expires one year after it is claimed. Users should not rely on AI output alone for career, legal, or financial decisions.
