| Hoosier veterans put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms and way of life. Supporting our veterans is always one of my top legislative priorities, and that’s why this year I supported a new law that provides tax relief for certain Hoosier veterans. House Enrolled Act 1210 will: End homestead property taxes for totally disabled veterans or their surviving spouses;Offer a $250 property tax credit for partially disabled, honorably discharged veterans age 62 and up or their surviving spouses; andGrant a $350 property tax credit for partially disabled, honorably discharged veterans who served during wartime or their surviving spouses.In recent years, the Indiana General Assembly has also eliminated the state income tax for income earned from active or reserve military service. One of the most important things we can do at the Statehouse is ensure our veterans receive the benefits they deserve for defending our state and country. Veterans with questions about accessing benefits should contact their local county veterans service office. A list of state resources for veterans can be found at IndianaSenateRepublicans.com/Veterans. |
