## Resource

A Nebraska law meant to save disabled veterans hundreds on vehicle registration fees has backfired for many—because the exemption hinges on submitting a VA approval letter before renewal, not after. One veteran learned the hard way: missing that deadline means no refund, even if you qualify. With 82% of applicants approved but 21 denied for timing issues, frustration is mounting. The Sarpy County treasurer is pushing for reform and ramping up outreach, hoping to turn this bureaucratic hurdle into a smoother benefit for those who’ve sacrificed the most.
