Missouri

Missouri Property Tax Credit Claim (the 'circuit breaker') provides a credit of up to $1,100 for property tax paid on a primary residence the claimant owns and occupies (up to $750 for renters), for claimants who are 100 percent disabled - including 100 percent disabled veterans - or qualifying seniors, subject to household income limits ($30,000 single / $34,000 married filing combined for homeowners). VA payments are excluded from the income calculation when the claimant is 100 percent disabled as a result of military service. This is a refund-style credit claim, not a property tax exemption.

Missouri does not tax VA disability compensation, and military retirement pay is fully exempt from Missouri income tax (100% deduction).

Missouri issues one free set of Disabled Veteran plates to honorably discharged residents with a VA-certified service-connected disability; additional plates carry standard fees.

Missouri adds 5 points to a veteran's state exam score and 10 points for veterans with a service-connected disability (or 30%+, or Purple Heart), with preference for eligible spouses.

Under 38 USC 3679(c) (originally Section 702 of the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act), every public college that accepts Post-9/11 GI Bill or Montgomery GI Bill students must charge in state tuition to covered students using their GI Bill, regardless of state residency. The old requirement to enroll within 3 years of separation was removed by the Isakson and Roe Act effective August 1, 2021, so there is no longer a time limit after discharge. State specific extensions to this rule are noted below where applicable. Missouri also extends in state tuition to active duty military stationed in Missouri.

Missouri's Wartime Veteran's Survivors Grant pays tuition (plus up to $2,000/semester room & board) at public colleges for the spouses and children under 25 of veterans killed or injured in combat, or rated 80%+ from combat, since 9/11/2001.

Free hunting and fishing permits for qualifying resident veterans.

Missouri state parks charge no entrance fee for anyone. Camping carries a $2-per-night year-round discount for current and former military personnel, people with disabilities, seniors 65+, and family members of active-duty military - ask at payment and show military ID, a disability pass, or a VA/SSA/doctor letter.

Missouri gives veterans a $2-per-night camping discount at all state parks year-round, and resident veterans rated 60%+ (or former POWs) can fish and take small game without a permit.

Missouri operates five state veterans cemeteries (Springfield, Higginsville, Bloomfield, Fort Leonard Wood, and Jacksonville) with no-cost burial for eligible veterans and their families.
