Four veterans service officers staff Pennington County’s Rapid City office, open 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays, assisting veterans, dependents and survivors with VA and South Dakota claims including burial allowance reimbursement.

$150 a month for the loss or loss of use of two or more extremities, where each affected limb is rated at least 40%. No income test, and it is paid on top of VA compensation.

40% or more in each affected limb. The statutory test is a rating of at least 40 percent in each of two or more affected extremities, certified by VA. That is a per-limb test rather than a combined rating, so this floor is an approximation. A veteran near the line should read the per-limb rule rather than relying on the filter.

$150 a month for life to a veteran whose service caused the loss of vision. It is a state payment on top of anything VA pays, with no income test, and it keys to the visual measurement rather than to a rating percentage.

Service-connected loss of vision meeting the acuity or field test. The gate is a service-connected injury or disease causing visual acuity of 3/60 or 10/200 or less, or a visual field contracted to 20 degrees or less, together with Pennsylvania residence at entry into service and an honorable or under honorable conditions discharge. No rating percentage is tested, so the rating filter never hides this benefit.

A free lifetime fishing license at a 100% service-connected rating, and a $1 statutory fee (about $2.97 with issuing charges) at 60% to 99%. Act 21 of 2025 replaced the free annual license with the lifetime one and dropped the wartime-injury test.

60% opens the reduced fee, 100% the free lifetime license. Under 30 Pa.C.S. 2707 as amended by Act 21 of 2025, a rating of 60 to 99 percent buys a resident annual or senior resident lifetime license for a $1 fee ($2.97 with charges), and a 100 percent service-connected rating brings a free lifetime license. Below 60 percent neither tier is available.

Free hunting and furtaker licenses at a 100% rating or unemployability, and $2.97 at 60% to 99%. The disability has to have been incurred during a war or armed conflict, and the license needs revalidating each year.

60% opens the reduced fee, 100% or unemployability the free license. A rating of 60 to 99 percent buys the license at $2.97. A rating of 100 percent, or compensation at the total rate including individual unemployability, makes it free. Below 60 percent neither tier is available.

No registration or title fee on one passenger vehicle for a veteran who lost a limb or an eye or became partially paralyzed in service, and for a former prisoner of war, a Medal of Honor recipient, or a Purple Heart recipient.

Loss of a limb or an eye, or partial paralysis, in service. The disability category turns on the loss of a limb or an eye, or partial paralysis, incurred while serving. That is a condition rather than a rating percentage, so the rating filter cannot test it and never hides this benefit.

Pennsylvania does not tax military retired pay at all, and it does not tax active duty pay a resident earns outside the Commonwealth. Survivor Benefit Plan annuities and VA disability compensation are untaxed too.

No eligibility test for retired pay. Military retired pay falls outside the classes of income Pennsylvania taxes, so no rating, age, or income level changes the result. The rating filter never hides this entry.

A Severely Disabled Veteran plate at a 100% rating or a listed condition. The plate itself grants no special parking, but a vehicle displaying it and carrying the person with the disability may use reserved spaces.

100% service-connected, for the Severely Disabled Veteran plate. The Severely Disabled Veteran plate requires a 100 percent service-connected disability, or a service-connected disability of a type enumerated in Section 1338 of the Vehicle Code. A veteran below 100 percent may purchase the ordinary Disabled Veteran plate for a fee.

A free veteran designation on a Pennsylvania licence or ID for anyone discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, added online or by mail and carried forward at every renewal. A license held by a service member on active duty outside Pennsylvania stays valid until 45 days after they return or separate.

A discharge other than dishonorable. 75 Pa.C.S. 1510(a.1)(1). No disability rating is involved; the rating filter never hides this benefit.

Up to $1,600 in any twelve-month period for food, shelter, fuel, and clothing, for a veteran or a beneficiary of a veteran in immediate need. No disability rating is involved.

Pennsylvania residence, an other than dishonorable discharge, and immediate need. The gates are residence in Pennsylvania, a discharge other than dishonorable, and a demonstrated immediate need for the necessities of life. No disability rating is involved, so the rating filter never hides this benefit.

A state fund, paid for largely by voluntary donations at driver license renewal and by veteran plate fees, that grants money to county veterans offices and to nonprofits serving veterans in need. Veterans reach it through those organizations rather than applying directly.

Reached through a county office or a grantee organization. The fund awards grants to organizations rather than to individuals, so a veteran reaches it through a County Director of Veterans Affairs or a grantee nonprofit. No disability rating is involved at the fund level, and the rating filter never hides this entry.

Peoria County runs a Veterans' Court, one of its three problem-solving courts with the Mental Health and Drug Courts, supported by the county's Adult Redeploy Illinois programme; referral is through defence counsel or the Public Defender, (309) 495-4621.

Justice-involved veteran. The court is for a veteran with a pending eligible case who consents and is accepted. A disability rating is not the test.

Perkins County’s Veterans Service Office in the Grant courthouse, open weekdays under Veterans Service Officer Kim Dickmeyer, hired full-time in June 2025 after the post stood empty from at least January, helps veterans and dependents apply for VA benefits and VA health care.

Any Perkins County veteran or dependent. Claims help, grave flag holders and homestead help need no rating; the rating filter never hides this entry.

Perkins County’s section 80-102 Veterans’ Aid Fund has grown on certificate-of-deposit interest to $158,395.03 with nothing paid in 2023-2024 or 2024-2025, and its Veterans Service Board has asked to control it; the county’s page still asks for wartime service and an honorable discharge, tests the 2024 amendment removed.

Veteran, spouse, surviving spouse or minor child in need. Section 80-102 as amended in 2024: honorable or general service, a year in Nebraska and six months in Perkins County, and need the committee assesses; the county page’s wartime test no longer applies. No rating is required.

The Perry County Circuit Clerk, as ex officio Recorder, files a veteran's DD-214 free: the court filing fee list on the county's pages reads "DD-214 forms: no charge".

Veteran or family member with a discharge to record. Recording the discharge is free; no rating or service test applies.

The Perry County Board of Commissioners (R. Franklin Campbell chair, Brenda L. Watson vice chair, William G. Lyons secretary; Chief Clerk Shannon Hines) carried the veterans year: Jim Scott's ten-year recognition (December 15, 2025), his retirement accepted February 23, 2026 effective June 5, 2026, Brady Cramer's May 26, 2026 appointment, the March 30, 2026 National Vietnam War Veterans Day proclamation, the DAV Chapter 49 block-grant request (June 15, 2026), and the Veterans Memorial Building's crash bars; no benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed.

The Perry County Recorder of Deeds, Dana Pritchard, 15 West Ste. Marie Street, Suite 1, Perryville (573-547-1611), records military discharges and points veterans to the Recorders Association of Missouri's discharge request forms; RSMo 59.480 makes the recording and copies free and limits copies to the veteran or an authorized party.

Box 223, New Bloomfield, 717-582-2131, fax 717-582-5149) records military discharges free - “All veterans are encouraged to record their discharge documents - free of charge - ... Also, all veterans can obtain a free certified copy of his or her own DD 214” - the recorder being “also responsible for the recording of military discharges for the county residents.”

Any veteran with a discharge. Recording a DD-214 is free under 16 Pa.C.S. Chapter 13 and no rating is needed. The rating filter never hides this entry.

The Pershing County Recorder-Auditor records real estate, mining claims, contracts, leases, judgments and marriage certificates under Nevada law, and its pages publish no military-discharge line or fee schedule, so free recording rests on NRS 419.020.

Certificate of honorable discharge. NRS 419.020 makes recording an honorable discharge free. No rating is needed.
