Summary

This bill aims to eliminate the existing six-year statute of limitations for specific claims filed against the United States Government. It focuses on claims for survivor benefits made by individuals who are survivors of members of the Armed Forces. The legislation applies to cases where the service member died in the line of duty on or after September 11, 2001 . By amending section 3702(b)(1) of title 31, United States Code, the bill ensures that no time limitation will apply to the receipt of these particular survivor benefit claims. The amendments will be applicable to any claim filed on or after the date the Act is enacted.
