An Act excluding Chapter 115 payments to veterans from gross household income calculation

This bill excludes specific payments made to veterans under Chapter 115 from their gross household income calculations. These payments, which reimburse veterans for out-of-pocket health care costs, would no longer be counted when determining eligibility for programs that use income thresholds. The change directly affects veterans receiving these reimbursements and the agencies responsible for calculating household income for benefit purposes. By adding these payments to a list of excluded income sources, the legislation ensures they do not impact a veteran's qualification for assistance programs.
