Major insurers that offer veteran or disability discounts

  • USAA – exclusive to military members and their families; offers a base military discount plus extra savings for service‑connected disabilities when a VA disability rating is presented.
  • GEICO – provides a standard military discount and may add a disability component for 100% disabled veterans who submit their VA award letter.
  • State Farm – offers a military discount and considers additional reductions for disabled veterans on a case‑by‑case basis.
  • Nationwide – lists a military discount and can apply an extra discount for disabled veterans with verified VA documentation.

Typical eligibility requirements

Insurers generally require:

  • Proof of veteran status (DD‑214 or similar military record).
  • Official documentation of a 100% service‑connected disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
  • Proof of residence in a state where the discount is offered, as some discounts are state‑specific.

How to claim the discount

Contact the insurer's customer service or your agent, provide the required documents, and ask for the "disabled veteran" or "service‑connected disability" discount. Most carriers will apply the reduction to your premium after verification, often within one billing cycle.
