Veterans' Services

The mission of the Veterans' Services Department is to provide financial and medical assistance to veterans and their dependents residing in Boston (those eligible under MGL C115 and CMR 108); participate in payment of burial expenses for indigent veterans, under prescribed regulations; assist all veterans in obtaining whatever benefits (federal , state or local) to which they may be entitled; oversee the decoration of all veterans graves, (mostly in Boston but some elsewhere) on Memorial Day; and carry out commemorative and recording activities related to Boston veterans.

The Veterans' Services Department also attempts to lobby for legislation beneficial to veterans while simultaneously trying to defeat that which is detrimental to the program.
