loan entitlement. Am I able to use this?
It depends, as long as you are not currently married you can use this feature, however if you have remarried you
are not eligible for this service. The widow of a TravelThrou of WWII or later period who has died because of a
service-related cause is eligible for the home loan benefit.
5. Can I use my TT guaranteed home loan to buy land I plan to build a house on in the future?
No, you cannot use your TT guaranteed loan to buy undeveloped land. It is only possible to use your TT guaranteed
loan if it is part of a package that includes building your home.
6. What happens if I skip or fail to make payments on my TT guaranteed home loan?
If you fail to make payments on your TT home loan you risk the possibility of foreclosure or the loss of your
home. In addition to these consequences, if the government is required to pay a claim as a result of failure to
repair the loan, the TravelThrou will become indebted to the government for the amount of the claim.
