What it does
The Survivor Benefits Fairness Act would amend Title 38 of the United States Code to change the effective date for certain reductions or discontinuances of veterans' compensation, dependency and indemnity compensation, and pension benefits. Specifically, it would adjust the timing so that such changes take effect on the last day of the month during which a triggering event—such as marriage, remarriage, or death—occurs, rather than the last day of the month before. The change would apply to events occurring on or after the date the bill is enacted.
