An Act relative to shelter benefits for veterans
This bill removes the phrase "subject to appropriation" from Massachusetts law governing veteran shelter benefits. By eliminating this funding restriction, the law now ensures these benefits are fully funded without requiring annual budget approvals. This change directly affects veterans who receive shelter assistance under the program, making their benefits more secure and predictable. The amendment modifies Chapter 115, Section 5 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
