HD 1919 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act amending credible service of the State Staff

HD 1919 allows veterans who previously served as State Staff members (as defined in Chapter 33, Section 15) to adjust their retirement compensation. Specifically, it permits them to add a 10% makeup payment for each year they received a housing or subsistence allowance that was not included in their original retirement calculation. This applies to veterans who served on State Staff for the prior three years. The change directly affects eligible veterans by increasing their regular annual retirement compensation based on excluded past allowances. The bill modifies how certain allowances are counted toward retirement benefits for this specific group.
