## Summary

**Keeps survivor benefits after remarriage.** The Love Lives On Act of 2025 would stop remarriage from automatically ending key payments and health coverage for spouses of deceased service members and veterans. It would do this by changing provisions in title 38 and title 10 of the U.S. Code to protect Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, special pension, Survivor Benefit Plan annuities, and TRICARE dependent status. - Surviving spouses: Veterans' surviving spouses would remain eligible for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation and special pension even if they remarry. This preserves ongoing monthly payments that remarriage would otherwise have ended. - Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP): The Department of Defense could not terminate an SBP annuity solely because a surviving spouse remarries. For spouses who remarried before age 55 and before enactment, the bill sets transitional rules that require annuity payments to resume either monthly starting one year after enactment or immediately for those who elected a specific child-transfer option as of Dec. 31, 2019. The bill also adds statutory language clarifying treatment of survivors of members who die on active duty. - TRICARE dependents: TRICARE's definition of dependent would expand to include a remarried widow or widower whose later marriage ended by death, divorce, or annulment.
