What the state owes you — calculated, tracked, and ready to claim
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.
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.
Run Tools 01 and 02 first. Your combined owed balance will appear here — the total of your one-time deployment bonus plus your estimated annual property tax savings. This is what Minnesota owes you. This is what Directive 09 delivers.
