An Act relative to enhancing public service pension equity for veterans

HD 2033 adds pension benefits for veteran public employees in Massachusetts. It requires retirement systems to count one additional year toward a veteran's age (for pension calculations) and two additional years if they have a 10%+ service-connected disability rating from the VA. This directly affects current and retired state/local government workers who served honorably in the U.S. military. The bill changes how retirement benefits are calculated by adjusting age inputs, applying to all defined public retirement systems under state law.
