Rhode Island benefits at your rating
Rhode Island sets veterans' property tax exemptions by municipality, with categories including the veterans' regular exemption, totally disabled through service-connected (SC) disability, partially disabled SC, Gold Star parents, prisoners of war, and specially adapted housing (fully exempt) - check your city or town hall for the local amounts. Veterans with a 100% SC disability get a free hunting and fishing license for life and pay no parking or admittance fees at state parks and recreational facilities, Veterans in the § 31-6-8 classes (limb loss or loss of use, a VA automobile grant, a 100% rating, or individual unemployability) are exempt from vehicle registration and license fees, and Rhode Island residents rated 10% or more have tuition waived at the three public colleges. The Rhode Island Veterans Home in Bristol admits honorably discharged wartime veterans (90 days wartime service, Rhode Island resident or enlisted from Rhode Island) with cost at about 80% of income.
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.
