(Boston, MA) For the first time in 20 years a Massachusetts Governor has introduced a comprehensive and expansive legislative package dedicated to veteran welfare. The HERO act was filed by Governor Maura Healey yesterday to increase benefits, modernize services, and promote inclusivity for Massachusetts Veterans.
“Modernizing veterans’ services is essential in ensuring our veterans receive the support they deserve,” said Secretary Jon Santiago. “We’ve identified areas where we can make meaningful changes, from enhancing benefits to providing much-needed behavioral health care.”
