Show FiltersHide Filters

A filter hides a benefit only when that benefit has a rating gate and the rating you set misses it. A benefit with no rating gate stays on the list. No disability needed keeps only the benefits a living veteran can use without any service-connected disability rating: one that needs a rating or a disability, or may, stays off, and so does one only a surviving spouse or other family member can use. Who it is for means who can receive the benefit in their own right; a survivor is the family of a veteran or service member who died, and a child of one is listed under both. This is not an eligibility decision.

MiscellaneousSouth Korea · Country

Rhode Island Counts Merchant Mariners as Veterans

MiscellaneousRhode Island · State

Rhode Island extends state veterans benefits to American merchant marine members who were legal residents at enlistment with six months of service, and names the merchant marine in the veterans home, the disabled veteran plate and the sportsman statutes.

Rhode Island residence at enlistment and six months of service. Section 30-22-2 requires the merchant marine member to have been a legal resident of Rhode Island at the date of enlistment and to have served at least six months, with an exception where the member died before completing six months. No disability rating is involved, so the rating filter never hides this benefit.

Rhode Island Disabled Veteran Registration, License Fee Exemption and Plate

MiscellaneousRhode Island · State

No annual registration fee and no driver license fee, plus a Disabled Veteran plate, on four alternative gates: amputation, loss of use of a limb, a VA vehicle grant, or a 100 percent rating or individual unemployability.

Individual unemployability, as an express alternative. The statute accepts VA documentation that the veteran is considered individually unemployable due to a service-connected disability as an equal alternative to a combined rating of one hundred percent. A veteran paid at the total rate through unemployability qualifies on the statute rather than on a policy.

Rhode Island Hunting and Fishing Licenses for Veterans and Service Members

MiscellaneousRhode Island · State

A free continuing license for a 100 percent disabled veteran, at the licensing authority’s discretion, once applied for and never renewed. A serving member’s existing license runs six months past discharge, and members buy at resident rates.

A 100 percent disabled veteran. The free continuing license goes to a person who was part of the armed forces and is now a one hundred percent disabled veteran, or to any person who is one hundred percent permanently disabled. Unlike 31-6-8, the section does not name individual unemployability, so a veteran paid at the total rate through unemployability should ask the department rather than assume either answer.

Rhode Island Military Service Pension Income Exemption

MiscellaneousRhode Island · State

Military service pension income is subtracted from Rhode Island taxable income in full, with no income cap, no age test and no dollar ceiling, for tax years beginning January 1, 2023 and after.

Subsection (c)(11)(iii) caps the modification alone or together with (c)(9) at the amount of the military pension received.

Rhode Island Veteran Designation on a License, and the Retail Discount Right

MiscellaneousRhode Island · State

A "veteran" marking on a Rhode Island license or ID, which the statute gives the same validity as a military identification card for preferential treatment in retail establishments, and which waives public animal shelter adoption fees.

A DD214 and verification of an honorable discharge. The designation requires a DD Form 214 or other acceptable documentation of military service plus verification of an honorable discharge. The statute opens no route for a general discharge. No disability rating is involved, so the rating filter never hides this benefit.

Rhode Island Veterans’ Assistance Fund

MiscellaneousRhode Island · State
