The higher amount would apply to deaths occurring on or after January 1, 2026. Starting January 1, 2027, the amount would be adjusted each year based on increases in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, rounded to the nearest $100. The Secretary of Defense would publish the adjusted amount each year in the Federal Register.
