Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to clarify the definition of a disabled veteran taxpayer.
AI Summary
This bill updates the definition of "disabled veteran taxpayer" in West Virginia tax law to expand the criteria for qualification. Currently, a disabled veteran is defined as someone honorably discharged from the U.S. armed services who is considered 90% totally and permanently disabled due to service-connected disabilities. The bill modifies this definition to include veterans who have been rated as having a 90% or greater service-connected disability by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, or who meet the eligibility requirements for individual unemployability according to the VA's disability ratings, specifically for service-related injuries suffered since September 11, 2001. By broadening the definition, the bill aims to provide tax considerations for a wider range of veterans with significant service-connected disabilities, potentially offering more financial relief to those who have been injured while serving their country in recent conflicts.
