The thing most people get wrong

No residency test at all

This benefit has no geography element. PSTA asks to see the designation on your licence, not where you live. It is in our corpus partly to prove the model can carry a benefit with no location rule.

Common mistakes that cost people this benefit

  • Not having the designation added to your licence. That is the thing PSTA checks — bring your DD214 to a DHSMV service centre and ask for it.
Worth knowingThere is no geography test on this one. A veteran anywhere can hold the pass — the benefit simply has no residency element.

Questions people ask

Do I have to live in Pinellas County?
