Expansion of Life Insurance Eligibility: Section 2 of the bill amends section 1922B of title 38, United States Code, by removing the requirement that a veteran must be service-disabled to qualify for the life insurance program. It also updates the eligibility rule so that a veteran simply needs to submit an application before turning 81 years of age, which could make life insurance accessible to more individuals.
