From my understanding SB-1357 has been silently killed so that one is deal to fully exempt property tax for fully disabled veterans. I am 100% and having to work three jobs just to make ends meet as much as I can with my physical ailments. Exempting property tax based on rating is logical but if I am 100% disabled should I not be 100% exempt from property tax and so on for the other ratings? I should not have to work so hard after retirement and having so many ailments; I wish CA would support veterans better and pass the bill and help out the veterans who want to stay in CA. So many of my friends are leaving for other states because CA does not take care of veterans. If they exempted my property taxes and retirement pay, I know so many veterans who would stay. This would be such a huge stress relief for me. I just want my kids to be active in sports, stay away from bad influences, and live a low stress life….right now that does not happen in CA. Please help us………….

QUESTION: after reading the article about 50% and 100% disabled veterans getting partial or full property tax exemption can you please clearify the following example for disabled veterans percentage breakdown:

For 50% disabled veterans receiving 50% disability will multiply his 50% rating X 700 = $350,000 property tax exemption. So if this is the formula I’m a 100% disabled veteran so I should qualify with
$700,000 property tax exemption. I submitted my application to the county tax office and did receive partial property tax exemption but only partial but in no way meet the formula above. I’m still paying over $2,000 property tax yearly.

According to information I have, California does not tax social security

The state government has until 2033 to act on it? Are you kidding me? When 2033 rolls around the Democrats will probably not act on it passing

On behalf of the Officers and members of American Legion Alexander Hamilton Post 448 in San Francisco this action is welcomed and long over due. The War Veterans in this Post are all Homosexuals, having served in in all branches of the United States Armed Forces.

It is about time California honor those that served in the US Military. As stated before California is the ONLY state plus the District of Columba that still tax Military Retirement pay. With a surplus of $75 billion California can easily afford to give this benefit to retired military living in the state. This change needs happen ASAP.

According to a recent article on Military.com, in 2022, six more states have joined the ranks of those exempting, or partially exempting, military retirement pay from state income tax liability. This leaves ONLY CALIFORNIA and the District of Columbia fully taxing military retirement income. NOT a list you should be proud to be #1 on.
