An Act relative to veterans' buyback

HD 204 amends Massachusetts retirement laws to provide veterans with a second opportunity to purchase service credit they previously missed. It directly affects veterans in state retirement systems who failed to make a required buyback purchase within the original 180-day window after entering service. The bill extends the deadline to one year from the act's effective date, allowing eligible veterans to apply once for this purchase. Retirement systems must also send written notices about this opportunity to all active members within 90 days of the law taking effect.
