Massachusetts pays financial aid to veterans and their dependents who have limited income. The money can go toward daily living expenses, medical costs, rent, support of dependents, preventing homelessness and behavioral health services.
Contact your local Massachusetts Veterans Service Officer, who takes the application, or the Executive Office of Veterans Services at 600 Washington Street, 7th Floor, Boston, MA 02111, phone 617-210-5480. You can estimate what you may receive first with the Massachusetts Veteran’s Benefit Estimator.
Your discharge paperwork for your most recent period of service, documentation of your income and expenses, proof you live in Massachusetts, and proof of your relationship to the veteran if you are a dependent.
