Bill > H3655

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Military Family Relief Fund, an expendable trust to help members of the Massachusetts National Guard and Massachusetts residents who are members of the U.S. armed forces reserves and were called to active duty after September 11, 2001, as well as their families, to cover expenses such as food, housing, utilities, and medical services. The fund will be administered by qualified non-profit organizations, selected every two years by the Secretary of the Department of Veterans' Services, that are focused on providing aid to Massachusetts military service members and their families. The organizations will submit annual reports on the fund's expenditures and assistance provided to eligible recipients, with personal information kept confidential. If the selected organizations lose their status or cease to exist, the Secretary will identify a new suitable charitable organization to administer the grants.
