The main purpose of this legislation is to provide financial support to the surviving spouses of Medal of Honor recipients. Specifically, it aims to allow these spouses to receive a special pension at the same time they receive dependency and indemnity compensation, which is a benefit for families of veterans who have died as a result of their military service. One of the key provisions of this legislation is the amendment to existing law that removes a restriction preventing the concurrent receipt of both the special pension and dependency and indemnity compensation.
