STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29178 / H0506
The purpose of this legislation is to make a technical correction updating the language in Section 33-4302(7),
Idaho Code, regarding the determination of disability for members of the Armed Forces. Currently, the statute
references the disability determinations made by the United States Social Security Administration. The
proposed amendment would amend this language to allow to use either the existing determinations or any
determination recognized by the Idaho Division of Veterans Services.
FISCAL NOTE
It is not expected this change will have a measurable fiscal impact. While the change to the process for receiving
the disability determinations will be streamlined with the Office of Veterans Affairs, making it easier to receive
documentation of an individual’s disability, it does not broaden the overall eligibility pool.
