Brief Executive Summary
The Special Investigations Division of the House Committee on Government Reform examined the impact of the "Disabled Veterans Tax'' on military veterans in Georgia. The tax affects veterans with both 20 years of military service and service-related disabilities, reducing their retirement benefits dollar-for-dollar by the disability compensation received. Key findings include over 26,500 veterans in Georgia losing benefits due to the tax, costing them $130 million annually.
