An act relating to excluding veterans’ disability benefits from income-based eligibility determinations for public assistance programs or benefits

This bill proposes to exclude veterans' disability benefits from income calculations when determining eligibility for various public assistance programs and benefits in Vermont. If passed, this would affect programs administered by the Department for Children and Families, the Department of Vermont Health Access, and the Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living, as well as energy efficiency programs. The change would make it easier for veterans receiving disability benefits to qualify for state aid by not counting those benefits as income.
