HF239 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))
Veteran educational benefits excluded from household income.
AI Generated Summary
This legislative bill proposed in Minnesota aims to amend the state's property tax refund laws. Specifically, the bill seeks to exclude veterans' educational benefits from being counted as part of household income when calculating eligibility for property tax refunds. By making this change, veterans who receive educational benefits would potentially have a lower household income reported for tax purposes, which could increase their eligibility for property tax refunds, thereby providing financial relief. This adjustment acknowledges the unique contribution of veterans by considering their educational benefits as non-taxable income under the property tax refund rules.
