Bill overview
The Caring for Survivors Act of 2020 aims to improve financial support for surviving spouses and children of veterans. It increases the monthly compensation paid to surviving spouses through the Department of Veterans Affairs, adjusts payments for those with less than 10 years of total disability before death, and expands eligibility for surviving spouses who remarry after age 55. These changes are intended to provide greater financial security to families impacted by a veteran’s death.
