Raises the Department of Veterans Affairs special monthly pension for living Medal of Honor recipients to $8,333.33 per month and updates related statutory wording about amounts payable to surviving spouses. The bill also records congressional findings that Medal of Honor recipients are the nation’s highest military awardees and that the increase is substantial and historic. The text shown removes a sentence terminator to permit further statutory text, but that additional language was not included in the excerpt.
