Gold Star and Surviving Spouse Career Services Act

This bill amends the Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program to expand eligibility for career services to include Gold Star spouses (spouses of service members who died while on active duty) and surviving spouses (spouses of veterans who died from service-connected causes). It updates existing program language to replace references to "veterans" with "veterans or eligible persons" and adds a new definition clarifying that "eligible person" includes these spouses. The change directly affects spouses who lost their partners in military service, allowing them to access the same career counseling and job placement services previously available only to veterans. The bill modifies existing program provisions without creating new services or funding.
