An Act ensuring annuity eligibility for Gold Star Spouses

This bill amends Massachusetts law to remove a restriction preventing Gold Star Spouses from receiving annuities if they remarry. Specifically, it deletes the phrase "provided, that the surviving spouse does not remarry" from Section 6B of Chapter 115. The change directly affects spouses of military members who died in service (Gold Star Spouses), allowing them to maintain annuity eligibility regardless of marital status. This is a straightforward policy adjustment to expand benefit access without altering other eligibility criteria.
