Protecting Gold Star Spouses Act of 2025

This bill's title ("Protecting Gold Star Spouses Act of 2025") is misleading, as the text actually addresses Coast Guard retirement benefits, not Gold Star spouses. The bill provides continuing annual appropriations for the Coast Guard Retired Serviceman’s Family Protection and Survivor Benefits Plans, ensuring funding at the rate established under the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act. It specifies that these funds are available for fiscal years after 2024, with mechanisms to adjust funding if future appropriations bills are enacted. The bill does not create new benefits or directly affect Gold Star spouses, as its title suggests, but instead manages existing Coast Guard retirement funding streams.
