Massachusetts updates bonuses eligibility for LGBTQ+ veterans affected by "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy during Pride Month.
During Pride Month and beyond, the Veterans' Bonus Division of the Office of the State Treasurer in Massachusetts supports LGBTQ+ veterans. In August, eligibility requirements for veterans' bonuses were updated, allowing bonus payments to those previously discharged due to sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status, under the now-defunct "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. This step aims to achieve equity and ensure service members receive their deserved benefits.
