HF 2410 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Continued education benefits provided to surviving spouses who remarry.

HF 2410 amends Minnesota Statutes section 197.791, subdivision 4, to clarify that surviving spouses of deceased veterans retain eligibility for state education benefits even after remarrying. Previously, marital status may have impacted benefits, but this change explicitly states that remarriage does not disqualify a surviving spouse from continuing to receive these benefits. The bill directly affects surviving spouses of veterans who died due to military service, ensuring they can maintain educational assistance regardless of their marital status. This is a specific policy change to the eligibility criteria, removing a potential barrier for remarried spouses.
