Protecting Gold Star Spouses Act of 2025

Summary#

The bill would provide funding for Coast Guard retired service members’ family protection and survivor benefit plans in each fiscal year after 2024. It would use the funding rate and terms from the most recent full-year appropriations law. If later appropriations are enacted, spending under this bill would be charged to those appropriations, and this bill’s funding would stop being available.

If you receive benefits through these plans, the bill would provide interim funding for them while later appropriations are pending. The bill does not describe eligibility or benefit amounts.

Expenses#
