New Jersey Assembly Resolution 115 urges Congress to pass the Military Surviving Spouses Equity Act.

Assembly Resolution 115 urges Congress to enact the Military Surviving Spouses Equity Act. The resolution highlights the current inequity where military survivors forfeit part of their Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) annuity when they receive Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The resolution argues that this offset is unfair and that the SBP should be added to the DIC rather than subtracted from it.
