Fairness for Servicemembers and their Families Act of 2025
Summary
The Fairness for Servicemembers and their Families Act of 2025 proposes a new requirement for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to regularly evaluate the adequacy of its life insurance programs. Specifically, the bill would mandate a review every five years of the maximum coverage amounts available under both the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance and the Veterans' Group Life Insurance programs.
During these reviews, the VA would be required to consider how inflation has affected the value of these benefits. The bill directs the department to use the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers to determine if coverage limits have kept pace with the rising cost of living. The VA would then be required to report its findings and recommendations to Congress.
