A message for 100% disabled veterans or the parent or spouse of a deceased veteran living in Massachusetts, and wondering about the status of your annuity payment:
As a result of the HERO Act, recipients now receive a single annuity payment of $2,500 every August. There are no longer February annuity payments.
Annuity recipients are not required to apply annually. However, new applications and changes to an existing application must be submitted by June 30th to ensure timely processing. To apply or to update your application, visit www.mass.gov/eovs/annuity or email [email protected].
