SD 1791 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act creating equal access to a common application for low-income veterans

SD 1791 creates equal access to a common application for low-income veterans in Massachusetts. It amends an existing law to include "veterans services benefits under Chapter 115" alongside other benefits like housing and healthcare. The key mechanism is adding veterans' benefits to the current single application system, allowing eligible veterans to apply for multiple benefits through one form. This directly affects low-income veterans seeking services covered under Chapter 115 of Massachusetts law. The bill streamlines access to existing benefits without creating new programs.
