Bill of the Week
HR 1083 and S 414
HR 1083 and S 414, Caring for Survivors Act of 2023. These bills will improve and expand eligibility for dependency and indemnity compensation paid to certain survivors of deceased veterans. There is an old saying that the toughest job in the military is that of a military spouse. That continues post-service. While the death of a loved one is certainly terrible, to have the benefits limited or taken away can be another burden which can be alleviated by this bill. If that spouse had been attending to a totally disabled veteran at the time of their death, it goes without saying that they should be entitled to the same compensation for the original amount of time given to that veteran.
Please contact your elected officials and ask for their support.
