Local veterans’ service officers provide critical, often life-saving resources and services to veterans across the Commonwealth. The state shares the cost of veteran’s services with municipalities, however, cities and towns often wait a full year to be reimbursed by the state, imposing a significant strain on local budgets, particularly in small towns. This bill directs the Executive Office of Veterans’ Services to reimburse municipalities within six months of any expenditure being certified.
