Ernest Peltz Accrued Veterans Benefits Act
The Ernest Peltz Accrued Veterans Benefits Act aims to ensure that pensions due to veterans are paid to their next of kin or estate if the veteran passes away before receiving the payment. The bill amends existing laws to specify the order of beneficiaries and includes provisions for payment to the estate if no claim is made within a year. It is focused on improving the administration of veterans' benefits posthumously.
