AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 115 of the General Laws to change the provisions related to annuities for widows and surviving relatives of veterans. Specifically, it states that any applications submitted by an eligible veteran will be valid until the veteran's death, and that the parents and eligible surviving spouses of veterans must reapply for the annuity once a calendar year, but during the first year they apply, they will be eligible to receive the annuity compensation they would have been eligible for the year after the veteran's death. The bill also allows any eligible veterans, parents, or surviving spouses who did not receive an annuity due to failure to apply to retroactively apply for 90 days following the enactment of this act.
