What this benefit is

A veteran compensated for a permanent service-connected disability rated 100% disabling — after one year of residency — receives a complimentary licence from the game and fish department, at no charge.

Who is entitled to it

  • You are compensated for a permanent service-connected disability rated 100%.
  • You live in this state.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

  1. 1Count the residency first: one year or more immediately before applying — the statute's binding condition alongside the rating.
  2. 2Prove the compensation: the statute asks for compensation from the federal government for a PERMANENT service-connected disability rated one hundred percent disabling — a temporary 100% rating does not read on the text.
  3. 3Apply to the game and fish department; the class of licence issued follows the department's own rules under the statute.

Worth knowingThe same section carries a middle tier the summaries flatten: any veteran compensated for a service-connected disability — no percentage floor — may be offered a licence at "up to twenty-five percent less" than the full fee after the same one-year residency. The discount within that ceiling is the department's to set, which is why it is context here rather than a record of its own.

Sources

Why only one source type: The statute states the concession, the permanence requirement and the one-year residency test; the game and fish department's own site sits behind a bot wall and could not be read for the operational page.
