The Department of Veterans Services and local legislators in Springfield will host an informational session to explain new tax credits and compensation available to veterans through the state’s newly-adopted HERO Act. The HERO Act Roadshow will take place on Wednesday at Springfield Technical Community College, with a virtual program also available on December 19. The act includes over 30 initiatives to support veterans, such as increasing the disabled veteran annuity, extending active-duty service buyback time, and expanding mental health services. Additionally, the act aims to streamline the excise tax exemption for disabled veterans and enhance support services for military members and their families. The session will provide valuable information for veterans on how they can access these benefits and resources. Those interested in learning more can attend the in-person event or join the virtual program.
