    ⚠️ Educational summary, not legal advice. Many of these benefits are for dependents/survivors rather than the veteran directly — noted explicitly where that's the case. Eligibility thresholds, dollar figures, income caps, and toll programs change with new legislation — several states have laws taking effect in 2025/2026 noted inline. Retirement pay tax treatment shown here is a summary; run the full Can I Afford to Retire calculator for your exact numbers. Always confirm current rules with the state agency before relying on a benefit. VetOps is not VA, a VSO, or a government agency. No guaranteed outcomes.
