According to the FBI, property and mortgage fraud is the latest growing white-collar crime. It can be as simple as someone recording a fraudulent document in the County Recorder's office, making it look as though they now own your  home or property.

 

To address these concerns, the Perry County Recorder's office has teamed up to create a notification service that will help you combat the effects of land fraud and similar fraudulent activities.

Protecting Ohio’s Veterans: Perry County Recorder

Jackie Hoover cautions Veterans to be aware of exploitative DD214 practices

Perry County Recorder, Jackie Hoover, and the Ohio Recorders’ Association (ORA) urge Veterans to be aware of exploitative practices targeting Military Veterans who are being charged for services that are available for free. DD214 Direct, a company based in Arizona, is currently soliciting veterans in Ohio to purchase a copy of their DD214 form for a fee ranging from $79 to $99. While this practice may be legal, Jackie Hoover and other County Recorders across Ohio want to ensure that Veterans are informed about the free services they are entitled to.

 

Veterans can obtain a free copy of their military records through their local Veteran’s Service Commission as well as record their DD214 at their local County Recorder’s office at no charge. The DD214 form is essential for veterans to access benefits like VA loans, disability compensation, and reduced medical costs. In recent months, Recorders offices across Ohio have received DD214 forms (paid for by veterans) from DD214 Direct through the mail, along with a limited Power of Attorney granting the Recorder the authority to file both documents on behalf of the veteran.

 

To safeguard veterans from exploitative, unnecessary fees and inform the public, the ORA is working to raise awareness among Veterans about these practices. Furthermore, the ORA is currently looking into potential legislation aimed at regulating companies like DD214 Direct and mandating the disclosure of the availability of these services at no charge.

 

Veterans can request a copy of their DD214 at National Archives website at https://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records or print a Standard Form-180 and mail or fax it to:
