Overview
This bill expands eligibility for a gross income tax credit available to family caregivers of certain armed service members who have physical disabilities. It removes the requirement that the service member’s disability must have arisen from a conflict on or after September 11, 2001, while still requiring the caregiver to be a relative residing in New Jersey and have a gross income below a certain threshold. The credit is equal to 100% of the veteran’s disability compensation or $675, whichever is less, and can be allocated among multiple caregivers providing care.
