Your Department of Veterans' Services has been providing services and benefits to veterans and to the dependents of veterans since 1861. From the date of that commitment by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, that insured that no individual who served his or her state and nation with honor during periods of war or other conflicts, would never be "pauperized" or forced to turn to public welfare for assistance. The Massachusetts Executive Office and the Massachusetts House and Senate have shown their continued concern for the welfare of the veteran and his or her dependents with the fullest support of one of the most comprehensive programs for the veterans in the country - The Department of Veterans' Services and the local Department of Veterans' Services....
What is Chapter 115 Benefits: Under Chapter 115 of Massachusetts General Laws (M.G.L. CH. 115), the Commonwealth provides a uniform program of financial and medical assistance for indigent veterans and their dependents. Qualifying veterans and their dependents receive necessary financial assistance for food, shelter, clothing, fuel, and medical care in accordance with a formula which takes into account the number of dependents and income from all sources.
Eligible dependents of deceased veterans are provided with the same benefits as if the veteran were still living.
How to apply: For applications, contact the local Veterans’ Service Officer (VSO) in the city or town where the veteran lives. To find a VSO:
