AI Summary
This bill, the Palomares Veterans Act of 2021, would amend Title 38 of the United States Code to provide a presumption of service-connected disability for certain veterans who participated in the response effort following the 1966 collision of a U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber and refueling plane in Palomares, Spain, which caused the release of four thermonuclear weapons. The amendment would apply to both disability compensation and dependency and indemnity compensation, regardless of when the veteran's death occurred.
