Bill Summary

Relative to residency verification for people seeking taxpayer-funded individual benefits from the Commonwealth. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws by inserting a new chapter, Chapter 117B, titled "Residency Requirements for Public Benefits," which prohibits the acceptance of self-declaration as a valid method for verifying residency when individuals apply for taxpayer-funded individual benefits from the Commonwealth. This change aims to strengthen the verification process for public assistance programs, ensuring that only eligible residents receive these benefits.
