Justice for ALS Veterans Act of 2023

This bill extends monthly dependency and indemnity compensation payments to surviving spouses of veterans who die from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurological disease. It changes the eligibility rule so that veterans diagnosed with ALS at any point before death - regardless of how long they had the disease - are treated as if they met the required duration for benefits. The change applies to veterans who died from ALS on or after October 1, 2022, ensuring surviving spouses receive benefits they previously might have been denied due to timing. This directly affects the families of veterans with ALS who pass away, streamlining access to financial support.
