Any veteran. Any veteran with a discharge. No rating is needed.

The Tuscola County Board of Commissioners (Nancy Barrios, Thomas Bardwell, Kim Vaughan, Bill Lutz and Matt Koch, with County Controller/Administrator Mike Miller) carried the veterans year in the June 25, 2026 Clark Hill engagement for the millage language (2026-M-138), the July 16, 2026 Resolution 2026-11 ballot placement (2026-M-152), and the October 1, 2026 FY27 County Veteran Services Fund Grant Agreement at 64,334.30 dollars (2026-M-221) - the FY26 CVSF grant of up to 56,568 dollars having been accepted under the packet Kate Preston signed for the MVAA; no benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed.

No eligibility - a board record. The record documents the county’s veterans-services administration; it grants no individual entitlement.

The Twelfth Circuit Solicitor's Veterans Treatment Court takes veterans charged with non-violent misdemeanours or felonies in Florence or Marion County who are eligible for VA services and have a treatable behavioural, mental health or substance problem: a four-phase programme of at least twelve months, usually eighteen to twenty-four, after which the charges can be expunged; 180 N. Irby Street, Florence, (843) 679-7163.

A VA-eligible veteran charged with a non-violent offence. For a veteran charged in Florence or Marion County with a treatable behavioural, mental health or substance problem. A disability rating is not the test.

The Twelfth Judicial Circuit runs veterans treatment courts in Manatee and Sarasota Counties only; DeSoto County has a Drug Court instead. A veteran charged in DeSoto County who qualifies for a veterans court can ask, under section 910.035(5), to move the case to one of those courts if both courts agree.

Justice-involved veteran or service member. For a veteran or service member charged in DeSoto County who qualifies for a veterans treatment court and whose transfer both courts accept. A disability rating is not the test.

The Twentieth Circuit's Veterans Court diverts eligible current and former service members with severe mental health or substance use disorders from prosecution; veteran status is established by a DD-214, and Charlotte cases come by transfer under the state problem-solving court transfer guide, since the programme's residency default is Lee County.

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

The Twentieth Judicial Circuit's Veterans' Court Program, held in Faulkner County by Circuit Judge Charles E. Clawson III's Third Division, takes veterans charged with a felony into court-supervised treatment before or after adjudication, with most counseling from the VA in Little Rock; the plan lists it among Faulkner County's cases, so Van Buren and Searcy defendants should ask about referral.

Veteran charged with a felony in the Twentieth Circuit. Acceptance into the program; no disability rating is needed.

Twin Falls County's Clerk and Recorder records a veteran's discharge free and keeps it out of the public record under Idaho Code 65-301; a veteran, surviving spouse or legal representative asks for a copy on the county's notarized Request for Copies of Military Records with a copy of photo ID.

The Tyler County Clerk (Janet Brown, 116 South Charlton Street, Woodville, 409-283-2281) files a DD-214 at no charge under Local Government Code 192.002 and keeps it confidential; its 2015 copy request form, which needs photo ID, describes the federal Privacy Act rule rather than Government Code 552.140.

Any veteran with a discharge. Recording a discharge and a certified copy are free under the State statutes; copies go only to the people Government Code 552.140 lists. No rating is needed.

No eligibility - a board record. The record documents the county’s veterans-services administration; it grants no individual entitlement.

People born in American Samoa are U.S. nationals, not citizens. No VA benefit depends on citizenship. Territorial career service does depend on nationality and ancestry, and the words there are doing work they do nowhere else.

Federal VA benefits have no citizenship test. Disability compensation, health care, education, home loans, and burial benefits depend on service and discharge, not on whether the veteran is a U.S. citizen or a U.S. national. A U.S. national veteran is fully eligible.

Under the U.S.-U.K. tax treaty, military retired pay is taxable only by the United States unless the retiree is a British national, and the exemption is lost to a retiree admitted to permanent residence. U.S. Social Security paid to a UK resident is taxable only in the UK, even for a U.S. citizen. The UK's own exemption for disability pensions is written for the Crown's forces.

No rating requirement. The treaty turns on the kind of payment, nationality and residence status, not on any disability percentage.

Every territorial benefit here runs through this office’s certification, and the office divides its own benefits into two lists. Which list a benefit is on decides more than any disability rating does.

Which list a benefit is on decides eligibility. Five benefits are limited to Virgin Islands Veterans: the home and land loan, UVI and CELL tuition, burial expense reimbursement, the taxi medallion auction, and the driver licence designation. The rest are open to any veteran residing in the territory.

Free veteran plates from the Office of Veterans Affairs, free Gold Star plates for two family members, a disabled plate at permanent and total, and a Veteran designation on the driver license or territorial ID.

The plates are free, the registration is not. Policy Letter 1 issues veteran and Gold Star plates at no cost, and states that the price of the registration process is determined by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The 2025 summary repeats that registration fees are paid by the veteran.

Ulster County gives honorably discharged veterans and surviving spouses a Return the FAVOR ID card honoured by dozens of local businesses: file the DD-214 with the Veterans Services Agency at 5 Development Court, Kingston, take its application to the County Clerk at 244 Fair Street, and the card is made there, weekdays 9 to noon and 1 to 4:45.

Qualifying disabled veteran or surviving spouse who owns and occupies the home. The exemption follows O.C.G.A. 48-5-48 and 48-5-52.1; the county offices take the application and post no amounts of their own. The rating filter never hides this entry.

Box 469; 706-538-2343, fax 706-647-8999, weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) - is the county's recorder of military discharges under O.C.G.A. 15-6-72 and 15-6-78; the clerk's own page lists the office's duties but no discharge line, so the free recording and the 50-year closure rest on the State entries.

A Utah resident with a service-connected disability of 20 percent or more buys a fishing licence for $12 against $39, a hunting licence for $25.50 and a combination licence for $28.50 against $43. The statute sets a 25 percent minimum discount and no eligibility percentage at all; the 20 percent floor comes from the Division of Wildlife Resources, so a veteran at 10 percent is refused here and allowed on the property tax exemption.

A 20 percent service-connected rating, which the statute does not require. Utah Code § 23A-4-302 sets no eligibility percentage, only a minimum 25 percent fee reduction and a direction to use VA disability guidelines. The 20 percent floor is imposed by the Division of Wildlife Resources. Recorded rather than enforced because the state parks benefit in § 79-4-1002 needs any rating at all.

Utah gives a nonrefundable credit equal to the income tax rate multiplied by your military retirement pay, which cancels the Utah tax on that pay. It cannot be carried forward or back, and you cannot claim it in the same year as the general retirement credit, so a military retiree with other retirement income has to choose.

No age test and no dollar cap. Utah Code § 59-10-1043 applies to any claimant who receives military retirement pay, without an age condition, and the credit is the full flat rate times the pay included in federal adjusted gross income.

Anyone offering to help a Utah veteran apply for VA benefits must be VA-accredited and must hand you a signed disclosure form, on a state-approved template, stating there is no charge for help with an initial application. Charging before a notice of disagreement is filed is prohibited, so are referral fees and guarantees, and the Division of Consumer Protection enforces it under the consumer sales practices act.

The person must be VA-accredited, and their registration number goes on the form. Utah Code § 71A-4-102(1) and (2)(a). Accreditation is verifiable on VA’s accreditation search.

Utah gives its National Guard and State Defense Force members on state orders the protections federal law gives on federal orders: a six percent interest cap, no foreclosure or repossession without a court order, protection against eviction where rent is under $2,400 a month, stays of proceedings, tolled limitation periods, and no adverse credit inference for using any of it. Federal law does not cover state active duty, which is the gap this fills.

It covers state military service, which federal law does not. Utah Code §§ 39A-6-101 and 39A-6-102. The chapter applies to a Utah National Guard or State Defense Force member serving on active military service in an organized military unit under the governor’s orders.

An honorably discharged Utah-resident veteran with any current service-connected disability rating gets free day-use admission to state parks, and the pass covers up to seven guests in the same vehicle. Camping is not included. The pass is being replaced during 2026, and in the meantime a current VA Summary of Benefits letter gets you in at the gate.

Any current service-connected rating, with no percentage floor. Utah Code § 79-4-1002(2) requires only "a current service-connected disability rating issued by the United States Veterans Benefits Administration". The department describes it as any disability rating. Recorded rather than enforced because the statute sets no minimum.

A state-run database that matches veterans and their dependent spouses and children who need specific goods, services or labour with donors willing to provide them free. Registry information is not public. A donor who helps is treated as acting on the state’s behalf for volunteer immunity purposes, which is what makes tradespeople willing to sign up.

Any Utah veteran, plus a dependent spouse and children. Utah Code § 71A-5-101(1)(b) defines recipient as a veteran under § 68-3-12.5 or a veteran’s dependent spouse and children. No disability, wartime period or income test.

The Uvalde County Clerk (Donna M. Williams, 100 N. Getty Street, Uvalde, 830-278-6614) posts no military-discharge line in its fee schedule or forms; the free DD-214 filing (Local Government Code 192.002), the free certified copy (Government Code 603.003) and the confidentiality (552.140) are the State’s.

Any veteran with a discharge. Recording a discharge and a certified copy are free under the State statutes; copies go only to the people Government Code 552.140 lists. No rating is needed.

The Uvalde County Commissioners Court (Acting County Judge Jerry W. Bates) dedicated the County Clerk's archive project partly in honor of the county's veterans (September 22, 2025), heard the Veterans Service Officer's report of a dire need for help (February 23, 2026) and adopted a 2026-2027 budget adding part-time help to the office (September 14, 2026); no benefit was narrowed or repealed.

No eligibility - a board record. The record documents the county’s veterans-services administration; it grants no individual entitlement.

When VA decides a beneficiary cannot manage VA payments, it appoints a fiduciary to receive and manage them, and oversees that fiduciary.

VA's only regional benefit office outside the United States, on the U.S. Embassy's Seafront Compound in Pasay City. Congress keeps renewing its authority, and the current renewal runs only to December 11, 2026.

No rating requirement. The office serves any veteran, service member, survivor or dependent with a VA claim or benefit. Nothing about it turns on a disability percentage.
