Military veterans and their families will get more money from the state beginning this month with increased annuities going into effect.
On Feb. 1, the Disabled Veteran Annuity and the annual annuity for veterans with a 100% service-connected disability, surviving spouses, or Gold Star Parents increased from $2,000 to $2,500, according to the Healey administration.
The annuity increase will be phased in “to ensure a smooth transition.” Eligible recipients will get an initial payment of $1,250 in February. Beginning in August recipients will receive a single annual payment of $2,500 every year, officials said.
“By increasing this annuity, we are reaffirming our commitment to the veterans, Gold Star families, and service members who have given so much for our state and our country,” Gov. Maura Healey said in a prepared statement.
Most eligible recipients will receive a direct deposit of the increased annuity early this week, according to the Healey administration. Others will receive a paper check in the mail that will be send out this week.
