Bill overview
This bill, the Ensuring Survivors Benefits during COVID-19 Act of 2020, addresses situations where a veteran with a service-connected disability dies from COVID-19 or related complications. If the death certificate doesn't clearly state the service-connected disability as the cause of death, the Department of Veterans Affairs will obtain a medical opinion to determine if the disability played a role. This ensures that veterans who died due to a service-connected disability and COVID-19 receive appropriate benefits.
