The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6727, aims to amend title 12 of the general statutes by excluding veterans' disability benefits from qualifying income when assessing eligibility for property tax relief. This change is intended to provide financial relief to veterans by ensuring that their disability benefits do not count against them when determining their qualification for property tax assistance.
The bill reflects a commitment to support veterans by recognizing the unique challenges they face and ensuring that their disability benefits are not considered as income for tax relief purposes. This legislative change is designed to enhance the financial well-being of veterans and their families, allowing them to retain more of their benefits without the burden of property tax calculations that include these funds.
