SCR 33 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Proposes constitutional amendment to exclude military disability income from the $10,000 income limit for eligibility for the senior citizens and disabled persons property tax deduction.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to exclude disability payments from the U.S. Veterans Administration (USVA) from the income calculation for New Jersey's senior citizens and disabled persons property tax deduction. Currently, veterans receiving USVA disability income must count it toward the $10,000 annual income limit to qualify for the deduction. The amendment would specifically exempt these federal disability payments from that income threshold, allowing eligible disabled veterans to qualify for the tax break even if their total income (excluding USVA payments) exceeds $10,000. It directly affects disabled veterans with service-connected disabilities who receive USVA benefits and own property in New Jersey.
