Bill 119 s 611, also known as the Dependency and Indemnity Compensation Improvement Act, aims to make changes to title 38 of the United States Code in order to enhance and broaden the eligibility criteria for dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) provided to certain survivors of veterans. The bill seeks to improve the benefits available to surviving spouses, children, and parents of deceased veterans by expanding the scope of who is eligible to receive DIC. Specifically, the bill proposes to extend DIC benefits to surviving spouses who remarried after the age of 55, as well as to surviving children of veterans who died from a service-connected disability. Additionally, the bill aims to increase the amount of DIC paid to surviving spouses and children, ensuring that they receive adequate financial support following the loss of their loved one. Overall, the Dependency and Indemnity Compensation Improvement Act seeks to honor the sacrifices made by veterans and their families by providing them with the support and assistance they deserve. The bill is a bipartisan effort to improve the lives of those who have lost a loved one in service to our country.
