An Act relative to uniformity in veteran benefits

This bill amends Massachusetts law to exclude small bank deposits, specifically those under $300 per month, from income calculations for veteran benefit eligibility. The change directly affects veterans applying for financial assistance under Chapter 115 of the General Laws, ensuring these minor transactions do not disqualify them. While the bill prevents these deposits from counting as income, it explicitly allows officials to review bank statements for other investigative purposes. The legislation aims to create a more uniform standard for determining which funds count toward a veteran's income when assessing their need for state benefits.
