Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to excluding veterans' benefits and workers' compensation benefits from the definition of income for purposes of the senior citizen rent increase exemptions (SCRIE) program and the disability rent increase exemption (DRIE)

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to exclude Medicare premiums from the calculation of income for two rent increase exemption programs: the Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE) and the Disability Rent Increase Exemption (DRIE). These programs help eligible seniors and individuals with disabilities by capping their rent increases, and the bill's intent is to ensure that the cost of Medicare premiums does not negatively impact an individual's eligibility or the amount of assistance they receive by reducing their countable income.
