Sergeant Gary Beikirch Medal of Honor Act

This bill aims to modify title 38, United States Code, to permit surviving spouses of Medal of Honor recipients to concurrently receive a special pension and dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) . Under current law, these two benefits cannot be received at the same time, often forcing beneficiaries to choose one over the other. The proposed legislation achieves this by striking subparagraph (C) from section 1562(a)(2) of title 38. This amendment would eliminate the prohibition on concurrent receipt, thereby ensuring that eligible surviving spouses can receive both forms of financial support without restriction.
