After serving your country, you have earned certain benefits that should be readily available to you. Unfortunately, many veterans struggle to access the care and support they deserve, or are simply unaware of their entitlements. At Hager Law, we are committed to standing up for veterans. You’ve given so much for your country—now it’s time for your country to give back. With our deep understanding of veteran benefits and our unwavering commitment, we will fight for what’s rightfully yours.
Financial Veteran Benefits
Veterans returning home are entitled to financial support, especially those with disabilities. The range of benefits you can receive depends on your disability status and its percentage. We ensure that veterans, regardless of disability, receive the financial assistance they deserve.
For example:
- Veterans who are 100% disabled can receive a full property tax exemption.
- Veterans with a disability rating between 10% and 90% may qualify for a reduction in their home’s assessed value, ranging from $5,000 to $12,000.
- Veterans with at least 60% disability and an honorable discharge can apply for a free Texas driver’s license or ID card.
We will make sure you don’t miss out on the financial benefits you’ve earned.
Veteran Home Loans and Home Improvement Plans
In addition to financial benefits, Texas veterans can access assistance with purchasing or improving a home. The Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) offers home loans at below-market interest rates, which are even further reduced for veterans with a disability rating above 30%. Home improvement loans are also available to make necessary repairs or adjustments to improve safety and livability. At Hager Law, we will help you navigate these programs so that you get the support you need to secure your home.
Veteran Education Benefits
Through the Hazlewood Act, Texas veterans, along with their spouses and dependent children, can receive up to 150 hours of free tuition at state colleges. This is just one of the many ways you can access educational support. To qualify, veterans must have been Texas residents when they entered service and have served a minimum of 181 days of active duty with an honorable discharge. We’ll help you make sure you meet the requirements and access these life-changing educational benefits.
Veteran Employment and Entrepreneurship Benefits
Transitioning back to civilian life can be difficult, especially when it comes to finding employment. Texas offers a wide range of benefits to help veterans secure jobs and ensure they can return to their previous roles. In addition, veterans interested in starting their own businesses can access valuable resources through the Veteran Entrepreneur Program, including financial assistance and expert consultations. The Hager Law is ready to help you explore these opportunities and ensure you’re equipped to thrive in your post-service career.
Veteran Housing and Burial Benefits
Texas also provides housing benefits for veterans and their families. Veterans’ homes are available to all veterans and their spouses who were not dishonorably discharged, with living costs adjusted based on income. For those who have passed, Texas offers no-cost burials at veteran cemeteries for veterans, their spouses, and dependent children. We will stand by your side to ensure that you and your loved ones are treated with the dignity and respect you deserve.
