HD 2722 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act providing for timely reimbursement of cities and towns for veterans' benefits

This bill changes the timeline for reimbursing cities and towns that pay veterans' benefits. It replaces the current deadline of "on or before November tenth" with a new requirement that reimbursement must be made "no later than 6 months after the date on which such expenditures are certified by the secretary." The bill directly affects cities and towns that disburse veterans' benefits, ensuring they receive reimbursement within six months of state certification of their expenses. The change takes effect two years after the bill is enacted.
