Ford’s Military Recognition Program offers qualifying military customers a reward toward an eligible new vehicle purchase or lease. Active-duty, retirement and veteran status have different requirements, so a current eligibility check is the best first step.

Military status matters
These are starting points for checking the program, rather than a guarantee that every service history qualifies.
Active-duty service members
Ford lists qualifying active-duty military personnel. National Guard and reserve eligibility depends on the applicable duty or service status.
Military retirees
Eligible retired military personnel are a listed category. Use Ford’s verification process to confirm the retirement status and documentation required.
Veterans
Ford’s standard published criteria include qualifying veterans within 24 months of separation. A regional offer may use different timing, so enter your registration ZIP code to check.
Spouses and household members
Certain spouse, surviving-spouse and household situations are covered in Ford’s published terms. Confirm how the current rules apply before selecting a vehicle.
A clear path from verification to shopping
Find the offer for your ZIP code
Use Ford’s Military Recognition website and the ZIP code where the vehicle will be registered. Review the available program.
Verify your military status
Continue through Ford’s ID.me verification path. Follow the instructions for the documents applicable to your service status.
Keep your confirmation
Save the certificate confirmation for the dealership conversation. If verification is pending or unsuccessful, use the assistance links on Ford’s program website.
Review a specific eligible vehicle
Talk with Atchinson Ford about the new Ford you want, its availability, applicable program terms and any compatible offers.

Questions before you shop
Does every veteran qualify?
Do not assume universal eligibility. Ford’s standard published criteria include a separation timing requirement, and regional offers can differ. Check the current result for your ZIP code.
Do reservists qualify automatically?
No. Ford’s published guidance distinguishes reserve and active-duty status. Use the current verification process for your specific service history.
Do I complete verification with the dealership?
Ford directs customers through its recognition website and ID.me. Bring the resulting certificate confirmation when discussing an eligible vehicle at the dealership.
Can this reward be combined with another Ford offer?
Ask Atchinson Ford to check the current compatibility rules for your chosen vehicle. Eligibility for one program does not establish eligibility for every advertised offer.
Where should I start if my certificate has not arrived?
Use Ford’s program assistance or ID.me support links shown in the verification process. Once your status is confirmed, keep the certificate confirmation for your visit.
