Indiana Provides Additional Benefits to Military

Week of May 14, 2007

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels recently signed into law Senate Enrolled Act 480, which increases benefits for Indiana's veterans and military families. The new law: (1) exempts all military pay earned while serving in combat theater from Indiana state income tax; (2) increases the maximum allowable state income tax deductions on military pay (including retirement pay and survivor's benefits) from $2,000 to $5,000 per year; (3) allows in-state tuition rates for out-of-state Soldiers assigned to Indiana; and (4) establishes an employment program for military spouses.
