S 3854 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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

This bill (S 3854) expands New Jersey's Wounded Warrior Caregivers Relief Act to cover caregivers of all honorably discharged veterans, not just those with service-connected disabilities from post-9/11 conflicts. It provides a state tax credit equal to 100% of a veteran’s federal disability pay, capped at $675 annually, for caregivers meeting income limits ($50,000 single/$100,000 joint filers) who reside with the veteran for at least six months. The credit applies to family caregivers (relatives within the third degree) providing care for veterans meeting the revised definition. This change directly affects New Jersey caregivers of veterans who were honorably discharged but previously did not qualify under the narrower post-9/11 service requirement.
