What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Love Lives On Act of 2025. It makes changes to titles 10 and 38 of the United States Code to improve benefits and services for surviving spouses. Specifically, the bill addresses what happens to certain benefits when a surviving spouse remarries. It allows surviving spouses to keep certain veterans dependency and indemnity compensation and survivor benefit plans even if they remarry. Additionally, it expands the definition of a dependent under the TRICARE program to include remarried widows or widowers whose subsequent marriage has ended.
