SD 531 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to shelter benefits for veterans

This bill amends Massachusetts law to remove a requirement that shelter benefits for veterans be contingent on future funding approval. By striking the phrase "subject to appropriation" from the relevant statute, the legislation ensures that veterans who qualify for these benefits receive them without the possibility of the program being halted due to budget constraints. The change directly affects veterans seeking shelter assistance and the state agencies responsible for administering these benefits.
