Bill > S1908

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 32 of the General Laws, specifically sections 7, 9, and 12B, to extend certain benefits to surviving spouses when a surviving child is serving on active duty in the armed forces of the United States. The changes involve inserting the phrase "on active duty in the armed forces of the United States or" into various clauses and paragraphs, which are parts of existing laws that define eligibility for these benefits. This means that if a surviving child is actively serving in the military, the surviving spouse may now qualify for benefits that were previously unavailable or contingent on different circumstances.
