Summary
This legislation amends title 38, United States Code, to expand eligibility for the disabled veterans' outreach program , extending its career and employment services beyond eligible veterans to include certain spouses. The bill defines "eligible person" to encompass spouses of veterans with specific service-connected disabilities, spouses of individuals who died while serving in the Armed Forces, and spouses of those who died by suicide with a service-connected disability.
