Bill overview
This bill would change how Massachusetts calculates household income for determining eligibility for certain state benefits. Specifically, it proposes to exclude Chapter 115 payments, which are benefits provided to veterans, from being included in the gross household income calculation. This would potentially increase the number of veterans who qualify for these benefits. The bill is similar to other proposals currently being considered in the legislature.
