Summary
The Military Pension Protection Act would exclude pensions received by members of the Armed Forces from being counted as taxable income. This means that families of military personnel would not have to pay taxes on these pensions. The government would no longer tax military pensions, which would help military families keep more of their hard-earned benefits.
