Extends Wounded Warrior Caregivers Relief Act to caregivers of certain veterans.

This bill (A 738) expands New Jersey's Wounded Warrior Caregivers Relief Act to provide a tax credit for family caregivers of veterans with service-connected disabilities, regardless of when the disability occurred. It directly affects New Jersey residents who are relatives (up to third degree by blood) caring for a veteran who was honorably discharged and resides with them in New Jersey for at least six months of the year. The credit equals 100% of the veteran's federal disability compensation, capped at $675 per year, and applies to caregivers earning under $100,000 (jointly) or $50,000 (single). The bill revises the definition of "veteran" to include all honorably discharged veterans, not just those with disabilities from post-9/11 service. It was introduced on January 13, 2026, and refers to the Assembly Military and Veterans' Affairs Committee.
