What it does
The bill would remove the six-year statute of limitations for certain claims against the U.S. government filed by survivors of military members who died in the line of duty on or after September 11, 2001, specifically for survivor benefits under subsection (a)(1)(A) of title 31, United States Code. It amends Section 3702(b)(1) of title 31 to add a new subparagraph (C) that eliminates any time limitation for such claims. The change would apply to claims filed on or after the date the Act is enacted. The bill affects surviving spouses and other eligible survivors of deceased service members from post-9/11 military service.
