Learn About the Massachusetts Chapter 115 Benefits Program 7/27/23

The Chapter 115 Benefits Program is a Massachusetts state initiative that provides financial aid for food, shelter/housing, clothing, and medical care to veterans and their dependents who have limited incomes and reside in Massachusetts. The program is overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Veterans’ Services, which runs the program in partnership with local Veterans’ Service Officers.

Benefits include cash assistance, medical expense reimbursement, and emergency assistance. There are three requirements to get these benefits. You must:

  1. Be a veteran or a dependent of a veteran;
  2. Have financial need; and
  3. Live in Massachusetts.

If you believe you qualify, please reach out to Hanover's VSO Assistant/Case Manager Amanda Kinsherf to set an appointment.
