Even if your father passed away you are still eligible for an account.

He is trying to get the USAA code for the discount, I imagine. You can generate the code through the USAA website. In order to do so, you need a login and password. If you don't have access to the website, then you need to obtain your fathers' DD-214, which will then allow you access.

If you don't have the form handy, you can reach out to the National Archives in St. Louis, assuming he left the military a long time ago. The best way to do this is to use the eVetRecs system to create your request. By going this route, you can get it electronically in just a few minutes.

To obtain it - you will need the following info to enter into the eVetRecs system:
  • Veteran’s complete name used while in service.
    Service number or Social security number.
    Branch of service.
    Dates of service.
    Date and place of birth (especially if the service number is not known).
    Recommended information (not required, but may help expedite the process): Purpose for request (applying for benefits, preparing to retire, researching personal military history), deadline, additional forms or information required.
