AI Summary
This bill, titled the Gulf War Survivor Benefits Update Act of 2025, aims to extend the timeframe for certain benefits available to surviving spouses of Persian Gulf War veterans, administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Specifically, it amends existing law by changing the "delimiting date," which is a deadline for eligibility, from January 1, 2001, to a new date that is ten years and one day after the official termination of the Persian Gulf War, as determined by a Presidential proclamation or law. This change provides a longer window for these surviving spouses to access benefits they may be entitled to due to their veteran spouse's service.
