Delaware / State / 151st General Assembly, 2022
83 Del. Laws c. 529 (SB 241) Extended the disabled veterans school tax credit to an unremarried surviving spouse
Added 14 Del. C. § 1917(d)(1)d. and e. and (d)(2)b. Where the school board has authorized the credit, it must be allowed to a surviving spouse who was a titled owner before the veteran died, has not remarried and occupies the home, if the veteran was claiming it at death, and the Secretary of Finance must keep it running without disruption. Approved November 2, 2022. Flagged because the Division of Revenue application, form DVP-TAX revision 20211026, and the Department of Finance FAQ still say nothing about surviving spouses nearly four years later.
