Wisconsin Disabled Veteran Benefits for Property Tax Credit

Wisconsin disabled veteran benefits include a refundable property tax credit.

This benefit applies to a primary, in-state residence (and up to one acre of land) for eligible veterans or their un-remarried, surviving spouse.

The Wisconsin Department of Revenue administers the credit through the state income tax return.

Any disabled veteran who was a Wisconsin resident for five consecutive years after entering active duty or was a Wisconsin resident when entering service is eligible.

The veteran must have a service-connected disability rating of 100% (or a 100% disability rating based on individual unemployability).

The Wisconsin Property Tax Credit is extended to include the un-remarried surviving spouse of an eligible veteran who receives Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) from the Federal VA after the veteran’s death.

The veteran must have been a Wisconsin resident (at the time of death) for an un-remarried spouse to qualify for this benefit.

Contact your local County Veterans Service Office (CVSO) for more information.

See the Wisconsin Disabled Veterans and Unremarried Surviving Spouses Property Tax Credit for additional information, application forms, and instructions.

Wisconsin Veteran Benefits: No Tax on Retirement Pay

Does Wisconsin tax military retirement income?

No. All retirement payments received from the U.S. military retirement system (including payments from the Retired Serviceman’s Family Protection Plan and the Survivor Benefit Plan) are exempt from Wisconsin income tax.

Retirement payments from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) are also exempt from Wisconsin income tax.

Wisconsin veteran benefits from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue are summarized here.

Wisconsin Veteran Benefits for Education

Are there educational veteran benefits in Wisconsin?

Yes! The state provides several programs for veterans and service members (and their families) who seek tuition and education support.

Wisconsin GI Bill

The Wisconsin GI Bill provides full tuition for eligible veterans and their dependents for up to eight semesters (or 128 credits) at any eligible Wisconsin college.

The Wisconsin GI Bill is a state program entirely separate from the federal GI Bill.

For additional information, eligibility criteria, and instructions on how to apply for the Wisconsin GI Bill program, see the WI GI Bill information and application booklet (Español).

Wisconsin Veteran Benefits for Academic Credit

Wisconsin veteran benefits provide academic credit for completed military courses.

Veterans should contact their school’s veterans coordinator to discuss eligible credits.

Get more information from the links found here.

Wisconsin GI Bill Tuition Remission Program for Dependents

The Wisconsin GI Bill Tuition Remission Program provides a 100% tuition waiver to the qualifying dependents of an eligible veteran.

For qualifying spouses, the benefit must be used within 10 years of the veteran’s death or within 10 years of an initial disability rating of 30% or greater.

The benefit is available to qualified children from ages 17-25. More information and eligibility requirements are available here.

Wisconsin Veteran Benefits for the Student Assistance Grant

The Wisconsin Veteran Student Assistance Grant is a state-run program available to qualified veterans (and, in some cases, spouses and children of eligible veterans) for use at private nonprofit educational institutions that belong to the Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (WAICU).

Dependent children of qualified veterans must be ages 17-26 to qualify.

For each grant, the private institution where the student is enrolled will match the grant amount to offset the tuition charged to the student. Grants can be for up to 128 credits or eight semesters.

Vet Ed Reimbursement Grant

The Veterans Education (VetEd) grant program provides a reimbursement grant to eligible veterans who have not yet been awarded a bachelor’s degree.

The award is made following successful course completion at a University of Wisconsin, technical college, or approved private institution of higher learning.

Veterans may receive federal VA Chapter 30 Montgomery GI Bill benefits and VetEd for the same semester. Individuals eligible for Wisconsin GI Bill benefits must use those benefits to be eligible for VetEd reimbursement.

Apply for VetEd through your County Veterans Service Officer online, or download an application and mail it in.

The maximum number of credits for which a veteran may receive reimbursement is based on the veteran’s time on active duty. (Active Duty For Training does not count toward general or VetEd eligibility).

Active-duty time/maximum number of credits or semesters:

181 to 730 days = 60 credits (or four semesters)
731 days or more = 120 credits (or eight semesters)

Contact Veteran Certifying Officials in the University of Wisconsin System

Contact Veteran Certifying Officials in the Wisconsin Technical College System

Veterans may use VetEd for full-time or part-time study until their 10th anniversary of leaving active duty.

To be eligible for VetEd, your income must be less than $50,000 (plus $1,000 for each dependent above two dependents).

The WDVA may request current income tax records to ensure that you don’t exceed the income cap. If your employment status has changed since you last filed your taxes, contact the WDVA.

Once final grades are turned in and the School Veterans Official has reviewed and submitted the application to WDVA, checks are typically issued within 5-10 business days. Provide a complete application to minimize processing delays.

If you don’t receive payment on an approved grant after ten business days, contact the WDVA accounting department to determine your check’s status; call (800) WIS-VETS (947-8387).

Troops to Teachers

Wisconsin’s Troops to Teachers (TTT) is a Wisconsin veteran benefits program that helps military personnel and veterans transition to becoming public and charter school teachers.

Federal legislation provides a stipend of up to $5,000 to offset the cost of teacher training programs to TTT enrollees.

Enrollees must be pursuing teaching certification requirements and agree to teach in high-need school districts.

Those willing to teach in schools with a high percentage of students from low-income families may receive a $10,000 bonus (the program cap).

A Troops to Teachers regional advisor or state representative can help you choose the licensing pathway and teacher training program best suited to your needs.

For more information, contact the Regional Troops to Teachers office.

Wisconsin Veteran Benefits for Transportation to VA Medical Appointments

Wisconsin veteran benefits provide two options for transport to VA medical appointments.

Wisconsin’s Department of Disabled American Veterans (DAV) operates several vans around the state with stops at predetermined locations for transport to the various medical centers.

For a list of the currently scheduled stops, please see the Wisconsin DAV website.

Schedule a stop by contacting the DAV transportation coordinator listed with the schedule. The rides are free and available to all veterans based on financial need—you don’t have to be disabled or belong to the DAV to get a ride on this network. The WDVA provides an annual grant to the DAV to run this program.

Where the DAV does not serve veterans, most counties assist—some free of charge, others for a small fee or donation. Veterans experiencing financial hardship can request to have this fee waived in most cases.

County transportation systems are run by the County Veterans Service Office (CVSO) or another county agency. Contact your local CVSO for information.

The WDVA provides a grant to assist counties in transporting veterans to VA medical appointments. To be eligible for this grant, complete form WDVA 2110 and return it to the WDVA by November 1 each year.
