What the state owes you — calculated, tracked, and ready to claim

Minnesota made you a promise when you served. Some of that promise is sitting in a state account right now — unclaimed because the process was designed to be hard. This tool tells you exactly what you are owed, calculates it to the dollar, and shows you how to claim it. No forms to hunt down. No agency to call. Just your number.

01
Post-9/11 Deployment Bonus Tracker
Check if you are owed $600 — $2,000 · Minnesota Stat. § 197.791
Calculate

The Post-9/11 Veteran Service Bonus paid $600 to $2,000 to Minnesota veterans who served between September 11, 2001 and August 30, 2021. The original deadline was June 30, 2024. Thousands of eligible veterans missed it. Under Directive 09, Governor Berhane is re-opening the window through December 31, 2028. Enter your service information to see what you are owed.

Must be between September 11, 2001 and August 30, 2021
Note: Directive 09 removes the original residency restriction. Veterans who moved to Minnesota after service are now eligible.
Estimated Bonus
This tool provides an estimate based on eligibility criteria under MN Stat. § 197.791. Final determination is made by the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs. The re-opened application window is subject to the Executive Order issued under Directive 09. This tool does not constitute a formal claim or guarantee of payment.

Disabled Veteran Property Tax Calculator
Homestead Market Value Exclusion · MN Stat. § 273.13, Subd. 34
Calculate

Minnesota law provides a Homestead Market Value Exclusion for disabled veterans — a reduction in the taxable value of your home based on your VA disability rating. Currently you apply through your county assessor every year. Under Directive 09, this becomes automatic — verified once, applied every cycle. Calculate your savings here.

Enter the estimated market value in dollars (no commas)
Used to estimate effective tax rate. Your actual bill may vary.
Estimated Annual Savings
Calculations are based on MN Stat. § 273.13, Subd. 34 and the 2026 exclusion values ($225,000 for 70%+ ratings; $450,000 for 100% P&T). County tax rate estimates are approximate and based on publicly available levy data. Final savings depend on your actual assessed value and local levy rates. This tool does not constitute a formal application. Under Directive 09, the automatic exclusion protocol removes the annual reapplication requirement once your rating is verified by the MDVA Health Repository.
