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.
SCR 21 proposes a constitutional amendment to exclude disability income paid by the United States Veterans Administration (USVA) from the $10,000 annual income limit for New Jersey's senior citizens and disabled persons property tax deduction. Currently, this income counts toward the limit, disqualifying veterans with service-connected disabilities who earn over $10,000 annually from the deduction. The amendment would specifically exclude USVA disability payments from the income calculation, allowing eligible disabled veterans to qualify for the deduction even if their total income (excluding these payments) exceeds $10,000. This change directly affects disabled veterans receiving USVA disability benefits who are otherwise eligible for the property tax deduction but are currently disqualified due to income thresholds.
