Marion has joined the District with the Veterans Service Office for the Towns of Mattapoisett and Rochester.
The mission of the Veterans Office is to advocate on behalf of the veterans and their families and provide services including financial assistance, food, housing, employment, and burial assistance. Federal benefits include obtaining discharge papers, compensation pensions, VA pensions, and Aid and Attendance pensions.
Mass. Chapter 115 State benefits are available to veterans and widows, who may also qualify for a “medical only” budget, if their income is below the Federal Poverty Level.
For further information, veterans residing in the Tri-Towns may contact the Veterans Office located in Mattapoisett Town Hall at 508-758-4100 ext. 212 to schedule an appointment.
