Bill 118 s 3746, also known as the Gold Star and Surviving Spouse Career Services Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to provide career services and support to Gold Star spouses and surviving spouses of service members who have died in the line of duty.

It would require the Department of Defense to establish a program to provide career counseling, job placement assistance, and other support services to Gold Star spouses and surviving spouses.
Additionally, the bill would require federal agencies to give preference to these individuals in hiring for federal jobs. This would help to ensure that they have access to employment opportunities and are able to support themselves and their families.
