History of the Massachusetts Department of Veterans Services

The Massachusetts Department of Veterans' Services has been providing services and benefits to veterans and to dependents since the Revolutionary War.

Today, we are committed to assisting veterans, their dependents, and surviving spouses with the same concern and compassion that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts established so many years ago.
