HD 1492 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to evaluations on a retired veteran disability

This bill (HD 1492) exempts certain retired veterans from needing periodic disability evaluations after their first five years of retirement. It directly affects veterans who retired under specific sections (52, 53, 56, 57, or 58) of the General Laws. The key provision removes the requirement for these veterans to undergo evaluations following their initial 12-month period, providing a permanent exemption after five years. This changes the administrative process by eliminating recurring evaluation mandates for eligible retired veterans.
