Colorado benefits at your rating
Colorado exempts 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value on a primary home for veterans with a 100% service-connected permanent (or individually unemployable) rating. Retired military pay gets a subtraction up to $15,000/$20,000/$24,000 by age. Veterans with 50%+ permanent ratings get a free first set of Disabled Veteran plates. Colorado National Guard members get 100% tuition waived at designated state colleges. Veterans get 5 or 10 bonus points on state hiring exams. Disabled veterans (50%+) and Purple Heart recipients get a free lifetime fishing/small-game license and a free annual state park pass. Five Veterans Community Living Centers and a state veterans cemetery in Grand Junction serve residents. For help, call a Colorado County Veterans Service Officer.
All 10 categories are listed for 0% combined, rating status Unselected. A program that needs a higher rating stays in its category. Study-list confidence marker: High.
