SF 410: Relating to the administration of the veterans trust fund

What it does

This bill relates to the administration of the veterans trust fund. The bill no longer allows veterans trust fund moneys to be used for cemetery development purposes in certain situations. The bill prohibits the commission of veterans affairs (CVA) from using any moneys appropriated to the CVA in a fiscal quarter in an amount greater than percent of the moneys appropriated. The bill requires, for an applicant to be eligible to receive benefits from the veterans trust fund, the applicant’s household income, benefits from the federal veterans pension program, service-connected disability income, and social security income to be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level for a family of applicable size in effect on the date the application was received by a county director of veterans affairs.
