Bill > HB06727

This bill proposes to modify Connecticut's property tax relief eligibility rules by excluding veterans' disability benefits from the calculation of qualifying income. Currently, when veterans apply for property tax relief programs, their disability benefits would typically be counted as part of their total income, potentially impacting their qualification or benefit level. By removing these disability benefits from income calculations, the bill aims to provide additional financial support to veterans who have been disabled during their military service. This change would help ensure that veterans receiving disability compensation from the government are not penalized or disadvantaged when seeking property tax relief, recognizing the sacrifices and challenges faced by disabled veterans. The modification would apply to title 12 of the general statutes and is intended to create a more supportive approach to property tax relief for veterans with service-related disabilities.
