A 1294 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides for voluntary contributions by taxpayers on gross income tax returns to fund burial of indigent veterans.

This bill creates the "Indigent Veterans Burial Services Fund" and allows New Jersey taxpayers to voluntarily contribute to it by checking a box on their state income tax return. The fund will provide additional money for the burial or cremation expenses of indigent veterans - particularly homeless veterans or those with abandoned remains - who cannot afford these costs. Funds collected will be directed annually to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to cover burial expenses beyond existing county and state funding limits. The contributions are entirely voluntary and do not require any tax increase.
