HELP SUPPORT: AB46
Blog • August 21, 2023
As some of you know, California is now the only state in the nation that fully taxes veterans pensions and survivor benefits. Needless to say, this policy can make it hard for veterans and military families to make ends meet. That's why VetsinTech is working hard to help pass a bill, known as AB46, that would set things right. Estimates say that passing this bill would generate at least 12,600 more jobs and add $830 million to total personal income for our military families. Anyone interested in helping should contact their state senator and encourage them to pass AB46.
