"Military pension or survivors benefits" pertains to survivor military benefits.
"If you are receiving a U.S. military pension or survivor’s benefit payments, the military pension or survivor’s benefit is exempt from New Jersey Income Tax regardless of your age or disability status. Do not include such
payments on your New Jersey return. Military pensions are those resulting from service in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard. This exemption does not apply to civil service pensions or annuities, even if the pension or annuity is based on credit for military service. Most military pensions and survivor’s benefit payments are received from the U.S. Defense Finance and Accounting Service, while a civil service annuity is received through the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. For more information on military pensions, see Tax Topic Bulletin GIT-7, Military Personnel and Families." (NJ Division of Taxation)
