NEW LAW FOR DISABLED VETERANS

A new law will go into effect on August 16^th that will recognize the sacrifice of disabled veterans.  Act 27 of 2024 will exempt 100% of their benefit payments from income calculations for any Commonwealth programs or benefits.  The law will ensure veterans who receive disability compensation will not have those payments counted against them when applying to those programs.  The purpose of this new law is to make certain veterans or their survivors aren’t unintentionally penalized or blocked from receiving a benefit because of their disability.
