What Is Veterans Assistance in Vermont?

Veterans assistance in Vermont is provided through a coordinated network of state and federal programs administered by the Vermont Office of Veterans Affairs (OVA) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The OVA is a state government agency at 118 State Street in Montpelier that administers Vermont-specific benefits and provides free Veterans Service Officers who file federal VA claims on behalf of veterans.

Veterans Benefits & Resources
Helpful information about VA benefits, disability, healthcare and services for veterans.

Who qualifies: Vermont veterans, active duty service members, National Guard members, Reservists, spouses, surviving spouses, and Gold Star parents.

Why it matters: Federal VA benefits alone often leave gaps in financial, healthcare, and long-term care assistance. Vermont fills those gaps with property tax exemptions, income tax relief, emergency financial aid, and a state veterans home. Many of these benefits are underused because veterans do not know they exist.

What veterans should do next: Contact the Vermont Office of Veterans Affairs at 802-828-3379 to schedule an appointment with a Veterans Service Officer, or visit veterans.vermont.gov for program information. The OVA recommends that veterans do not file VA claims alone.

Vermont Property Tax Exemption for Disabled Veterans

Vermont provides a property tax exemption for eligible disabled veterans and their survivors. The exemption reduces the assessed value of the veteran’s primary residence before taxes are calculated. State law mandates a minimum $10,000 exemption, although towns may vote to increase it to $40,000.

Who Qualifies

Veterans and survivors who meet one of the following criteria are eligible:

  • Veterans receiving VA Disability Compensation at a rating of 50% or higher

  • Veterans receiving Improved Pension (Non-Service Connected Disability Pension)

  • Veterans collecting permanent medical military retirement pay

  • Surviving spouses of veterans who had received the exemption (if they do not remarry)

Act 71: Military Retirement and Survivor Benefit Tax Exemption

Vermont’s Act 71, signed into law on June 25, 2025, created a tiered exemption for military retirement pay and survivor benefit income. The changes take effect beginning with the 2025 tax year (filed in 2026).

Exemption Tiers

Federal Adjusted Gross IncomeExemption Status
$125,000 or lessFull exemption on military retirement and survivor benefit income
$125,001 – $175,000Partial exemption on a sliding scale
$175,000 or aboveNo exemption available

Important: Taxpayers receiving both Social Security income and military retirement pay can only elect one exclusion — either the Social Security tax exemption or the Military Retirement pay tax exemption, but not both.

Vermont Veteran Tax Credit

Act 71 also established a new **$250 refundable tax credit** for income-eligible veterans. Vermont residents or part-year residents with adjusted gross income of $25,000 or less are entitled to the credit. The credit decreases for incomes between $25,001 and $30,000, with no credit available above $30,000.

Veterans married to another veteran filing jointly with combined AGI under $30,000 may both be eligible to claim the credit.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Filing property tax exemption after May 1. The deadline is strict. Call the VA by April 1 to request proof of eligibility.

  2. Assuming all disabled veterans qualify for vehicle tax exemptions. Only veterans whose vehicles were modified with VA funding qualify.

  3. Not applying for the Vermont Veteran Tax Credit. Income-eligible veterans may miss the $250 refundable credit.

  4. Electing both Social Security and military retirement exemptions. Taxpayers can only choose one under Act 71.

  5. Filing VA claims alone. Vermont Veterans Service Officers provide free assistance and know the system.

  6. Missing the 90-day service requirement for the Vermont Veterans’ Home. Even short-service veterans may qualify if discharged for a disability.

  7. Overlooking the Green Mountain Passport. The $2 lifetime pass provides free access to state parks.

  8. Not contacting Vermont 211 for emergency assistance. Dial 2-1-1 for help with food, shelter, and utilities.

  9. Assuming the property tax exemption is automatic. Veterans must provide proof of eligibility to the OVA every year before May 1.

  10. Not applying for the Vermont Veterans’ Fund. The Fund supports long-term care, homeless veterans, and transportation services.
