The Gold Star and Surviving Spouse Career Services Act expands eligibility for the Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program (DVOP) by amending Title 38, United States Code. This legislation allows certain spouses, previously not covered, to access the employment and training services provided by the program. Specifically, the bill defines an "eligible person" to include Gold Star spouses (spouses of those who died while serving in the Armed Forces) and spouses of veterans with total and permanent service-connected disabilities or those who died from such disabilities. By extending these services, the Act aims to provide critical career assistance and support to these deserving individuals.
