A 1154 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Excludes veteran disability compensation from income qualification limits under homestead property tax reimbursement program.

This bill amends New Jersey's homestead property tax reimbursement program to exclude veterans' disability compensation from the income calculation used for eligibility. Specifically, it removes U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs disability payments (for service-connected injuries) from the income count when determining if a veteran qualifies for the program. Currently, the program has income limits (e.g., $37,174 for single applicants in 2000), but this change ensures veterans' disability compensation is not counted toward those limits. As a result, more veterans receiving VA disability benefits will become eligible for property tax reimbursements they might otherwise be disqualified from due to income thresholds.
