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

- 3Deployed after drawing a tag? NDOW refunds or defers it for up to two seasons — ask rather than eating the tag.

CorrectionSummaries present this as a disabled-veteran licence at 50%+. The state veterans department states it plainly: ALL Nevada veteran residents buy the $15 specialty combination licence — the disability route is one door among several, and the price is the same.
Worth knowingThe tag-deferment rule is its own quiet benefit: a drawn tag survives a deployment for up to two successive years.
