AI Summary
This bill amends Section 6B of Chapter 115 of the Massachusetts General Laws to extend annuity payments to surviving spouses of veterans who are in receipt of Dependent Indemnity Compensation (DIC) from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The existing law provides annuities for surviving spouses of veterans who died from injuries or illness related to their military service, and this bill adds spouses receiving DIC, a benefit paid to surviving spouses of service members who died while on active duty or from service-connected disabilities, to the group eligible for these annuity payments.
