The E. F. Gilmore Disabled American Veterans (DAV) of Lynn/Swampscott will be holding an information session on the HERO ACT on Thursday, October 17 th at 7:00 P.M. The session will be held at North Shore Community College in Lynn.
The HERO Act is the most comprehensive and expansive legislative package dedicated to the welfare of veterans in Massachusetts history. Since its filing, additional provisions were added by the Senate and House to create more than 30 provisions, including spending, policy initiatives, tax credits, and statute changes, organized into four categories. There are also several local options that will increase the real estate tax exemption and excise tax for veterans. The session will bring experts from the Executive Office of Veterans Services and local officials to discuss these provisions, according to Jeffrey Blonder, Commander of the E.F. Gilmore DAV. All veterans are encouraged to attend to find out about these expanded benefits, Blonder added. For more information please contact Blonder at 617-967-6892.
