2011 Report of the Veterans’ Services Department
In fiscal 2011 the towns of Randolph and Milton combined resources and instituted a veterans’ services district pursuant to Chapter 115, Section 10 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The purpose of forming this district was to increase awareness of and accessibility to veterans’ benefits. The implementation of this union has resulted in the use of innovative outreach and administrative strategies that have allowed for more accessibility resulting in a significant increase in the number of Randolph veterans who have been found to be eligible for federal or state benefits to which they were not aware.
During the past year this office assisted veterans and/or their dependents with issues such as educational and job training benefits, medical reimbursement, housing, military records, legal issues involving benefits, burial and survivor benefits as well as federal service connected compensatory and non-service connected pension claims.
It is an honor to serve the veterans of Randolph and I would like to thank the Town Council and Town Manager David Murphy for the unwavering support they have shown this office and all Randolph veterans.
Respectfully
Michael Cunningham, Director
Randolph Veterans’ Services
