Bill Summary
Relativerelative to disability retirement benefits for veterans. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends a previous act concerning disability retirement benefits for veterans by changing a rule about payments to deceased individuals. Previously, no payments could be made if the person was deceased, but this bill inserts a new provision stating that if a veteran who is entitled to these benefits has passed away, the payment will be made as a single, lump-sum payment to their living spouse or another living family member. This change aims to ensure that these benefits are still received by the veteran's family even after their death.
