AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes a federal veterans law about pension benefits for surviving spouses of Persian Gulf War veterans. Under current law, a surviving spouse of a Gulf War veteran generally must have married the veteran before January 1, 2001, to qualify. The bill would replace that fixed date with a date ten years and one day after the official end of the Persian Gulf War, as set by Presidential proclamation or law.
