April 1, 2026 Mary Thompson 1608 W St Andrews Rd Midland, Mi 48640 Dear Mary, Per our conversation on 4/1/2026 you asked why a determination of your 2025 taxes were reimbursed, but not for prior years. I have attached the Michigan Compiled law 211.53b and highlighted what laws we are governed by to follow by the Department of Treasury when granting a Veterans Exemption. Please see highlighted section on page 4, # 2 that states a delay in the determination by the United States Department of Veterans affairs that a veteran is permanently and totally disabled as a result of military service and entitled to veterans benefits, the Board of review have the authority to grant the exemption for the current year and immediately preceding tax year. Hope this answers your question as to why we determined only the 2025 tax reimbursement.
