Page 18 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2020 SOUNDS | FROM PAGE 15 penses. Whether laid off , in transition or living on a fi xed income, the program is designed to provide short-term or long-term assistance as needed to provide relief. The program is overseen by the Massachusetts Department Veterans’ Services (DVS), which runs the program in partnership with local VSOs. Every town or district in Massachusetts has a VSO. VSOs assist Veterans and their dependents in learning about, applying for and receiving Chapter 115 benefi ts. VSOs can also help you in applying for other benefi ts and connecting with local resources. Your local VSO handles applications, obtains program approval from DVS and provides local benefi ts. The program is funded by a combination of state and local funds. DVS pays for 75% and your city or town pays for 25% of the approved benefi ts. There are income and asset limits for the program. As a general rule, income and asset requirements are: Family of one – monthly income less than $2,081and an asset limit of $5,000; family of 2 – monthly income less than $2,818 and an asset limit of $,9800 To determine if you may be eligible for fi nancial assistance through the Chapter 115 program, visit the following link and follow the instructions – https:// massvetben.org/ – or call your local VSO for more information. The VSOs are also able to help Veterans apply for Federal VA benefi ts and local benefi ts and provide food assistance monthly. For example, did you know that if you own a home and have a VA service-connected disability, you are eligible for a partial or full exemption of your property taxes? “Please contact your local Veterans’ Service Offi cer for more information on any of the services mentioned. We are all here to assist. We are regularly checking voicemails and emails as we continue to work remotely and in our offi ces throughout COVID-19.” Melrose: Karen Burke, 781-979-4186, kburke@cityofmelrose. org.
