S 1729 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to veterans service officers retirement benefits

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to include Veterans agents and part-time Veterans agents in the retirement benefits system currently available to employees of Cushing Hospital. By adding these specific roles to the list of eligible personnel, the legislation ensures that part-time and full-time Veterans agents can access the same retirement provisions as other hospital staff. The change directly affects the administrative and support personnel who serve as Veterans agents within the state's healthcare system.
