Bill overview
This bill establishes the ‘New Jersey Gold Star Family Annuity Program’ within the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The program aims to provide an annual annuity of $600 to surviving family members – specifically spouses, domestic partners, parents, siblings, children, or legal guardians – of service members who died in the line of duty. The annuity amount will increase annually based on the US Department of Veterans Affairs compensation and pension benefit adjustments, with a minimum increase of one percent and a maximum of four percent. Applicants must be New Jersey residents and provide documentation to verify their relationship to the deceased service member.
