Ernest Peltz Accrued Veterans Benefits Act

This bill, HR 4562 (Ernest Peltz Accrued Veterans Benefits Act), clarifies how veterans' pension benefits are handled when a veteran dies. It directly affects veterans receiving pensions under existing ratings and their surviving beneficiaries. The key change amends Section 5112(b) of Title 38 to specify that pension payments continue through the month of the veteran's death, rather than stopping at the end of the prior month. This ensures survivors receive the full month's benefit for the month in which the veteran died, applying to payments made on or after the bill's enactment date.
