Also worth asking about
Most states, Nevada included, run some version of these. Details vary, so ask the agency:
- State veterans homes (long-term care) and state veterans cemeteries
- Veterans preference in state government hiring
- Discounted or free hunting and fishing licenses for disabled veterans
- Veteran designation on the driver's license and veteran license plates
- Some form of property tax relief for qualifying disabled veterans
- Burial honors and headstone or marker assistance
- State tax treatment of military retirement pay, which varies and changes often.
Benefits are won on paperwork
Nearly every program above asks for the same documents: DD-214, VA rating letter, proof of residence. MusterVault keeps all of it organized and encrypted on your own computer, ready the day you apply. Free, no account.
