Love Lives On Act of 2025
Summary
The Love Lives On Act of 2025 would modify federal law to ensure that surviving spouses of deceased members of the Armed Forces or veterans do not lose their military benefits when they remarry. Currently, remarriage can result in the loss of dependency and indemnity compensation or special pension benefits. This bill would change that by allowing remarried surviving spouses to continue receiving these benefits.
The bill would also prevent the Department of Defense from terminating annuity payments under the Survivor Benefit Plan solely because a surviving spouse remarries. Additionally, it would expand eligibility for TRICARE military health insurance to include remarried widows and widowers whose subsequent marriages have ended through death, divorce, or annulment. These changes aim to provide greater financial security and healthcare access to surviving family members of military personnel regardless of their marital status after their spouse's death.
