Justice for ALS Veterans Act of 2025

Increased compensation for surviving spouses: The bill extends increased dependency and indemnity compensation to spouses of veterans who die from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, regardless of how long the veteran had the disease before passing (Section 2(a)).

Clear eligibility for spouses: The bill establishes that a surviving spouse is a person who was married to the veteran for a continuous period of eight years or longer prior to the death of the veteran (Section 2(a)(C)).

Identification of future benefits: The Secretary of Veterans Affairs is required to submit a report to Congress identifying other service-connected disabilities that might need to be treated the same way as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Section 3(a)).
