Gulf War Survivor Benefits Update Act of 2024
The Gulf War Survivor Benefits Update Act of 2024 changes the deadline for surviving spouses of Persian Gulf War veterans to qualify for certain benefits. It replaces the current cutoff date of January 1, 2001, with a new deadline set ten years and one day after the Persian Gulf War ended (as defined by presidential proclamation or law). This adjustment would allow more surviving spouses who married their veterans after January 1, 2001, but before the new deadline, to become eligible for benefits. The bill directly affects surviving spouses of veterans who served in the Persian Gulf War.
