🇺🇸 **Attention Ohio's 100% Disabled Veterans: Claim Your Refund Now**

If you're a veteran with a 100% service-connected disability and you paid registration fees or taxes for a Specialty Military License Plate, the State of Ohio owes you that money back, and you can now file your claim.

The settlement website for *Kacin v. Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles* is live:
👉 https://www.bmvlicenseplatesettlement.com/

**You may be eligible if:**
✅ You bought a Specialty Military License Plate at an Ohio Deputy Registrar on or after October 17, 2019
✅ The VA rated or compensated you at 100% service-connected disability when you bought it
✅ You have not already received a refund for that purchase

**What you get:** A FULL refund of the registration taxes and fees you paid. The BMV is paying all administration costs separately, so nothing comes out of what veterans are owed.

**How to claim:** Submit a Declaration of Eligibility and VA documentation of your 100% rating. You can upload it on the settlement website or mail it to Kroll Settlement Administration.

⏰ **Deadline: December 2, 2026**

Ohio's legislature promised these veterans a waiver, and the BMV charged them anyway. After more than three years of litigation, including a win at the Tenth District Court of Appeals, we're proud this settlement fulfills that promise, dollar for dollar.

Questions? Call the Settlement Administrator at (833) 453-3775 or contact DannLaw at (216) 373-0539.

**Please share this post.** Many eligible veterans may not know they're owed money. Tag a veteran, a VSO, or a family member who should see this. 🇺🇸

DannLaw vs BMV

09/24/2026

DannLaw has issued a formal demand letter to the Delaware County Agricultural Society on behalf of Emma Mirles-Jones, a candidate for Delaware County Common Pleas Court, following a troubling incident at the Delaware County Fair.

On September 20, 2026, Ms. Mirles-Jones was attending the Fair as an ordinary patron when Fair officials and a Sheriff's deputy forced her to stop peacefully campaigning — simply speaking with prospective voters and distributing campaign literature. She was not soliciting donations, selling anything, obstructing pedestrian traffic, or otherwise disrupting the Fair in any way.

This kind of interference strikes at the heart of our democratic process. Conversations with voters and the distribution of campaign literature constitute core political speech entitled to the highest degree of First Amendment protection. Government officials cannot suppress such protected speech through ad hoc restrictions unsupported by established rules or standards.

As the Ohio Supreme Court made clear in Greene County Agricultural Society v. Liming, 89 Ohio St.3d 551 (2000), a county agricultural society engaged in governmental activities is a political subdivision obligated to abide by the First Amendment's protections on free speech. The Delaware County Agricultural Society is no exception.

DannLaw has demanded that the Agricultural Society cease interfering with Ms. Mirles-Jones's protected political activity. Ms. Mirles-Jones intends to return to the Fair and resume campaigning before it concludes on September 26, 2026. She will comply with the Fair's generally applicable patron rules while continuing to peacefully speak with willing voters and distribute free campaign literature in areas otherwise open to Fair patrons.

Ms. Mirles-Jones has expressly reserved all claims arising from the September 20 incident and any further interference with her protected political activity.

The right to engage in political speech — especially during an election — is foundational to our democracy. Public entities must respect these rights, not suppress them.

Unaccredited veterans’ claims services violate federal law when they charge Ohio veterans thousands of dollars to file disability claims.
