house 02/27/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working on a new bill, the Justice for ALS Veterans Act of 2025, aiming to ensure that surviving spouses of veterans who pass away from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) receive increased dependency and indemnity compensation, irrespective of the duration their spouse had ALS. By advocating for this amendment, we strive to offer critical financial support and peace of mind to those who have lost loved ones to this devastating condition.
