• Qualified individuals will be issued a sales tax exemption card listing their name, sales tax exemption number, issue date, expiration date, spouse name (if applicable), and household member name (if applicable). This shows who is authorized to make purchases on their behalf.
• An authorized household member includes one additional person only if residing with the qualified disabled veteran.
