Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

I work at a company who offers a benefit of paying employees 1,000 deductible and paying $1,000 to the people the who don't take the company's insurance. This policy is in our hand book . Our employers took this benefit away with no notice and no change of the hand book. Is this something I could pursue since I was told I would receive this when I was hired?
