Provides for increase and annual adjustment in allowance paid to veterans with certain wartime service-connected disabilities.
New Jersey's bill A867 increases annual payments for veterans with specific wartime service-related disabilities from $750 to $1,500 per year. It applies to blind veterans and those with paraplegia, hemiplegia, or permanent limb loss resulting from military service. The allowance will adjust annually based on cost-of-living changes using the regional inflation index, increasing only if inflation rises. Payments will maintain purchasing power for veterans without decreasing during price declines.
