It is the sense of Congress that— section 621 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 ( Public Law 115–91 ) amended section 1450(m) of title 10, United States Code, to make permanent the special survivor indemnity allowance; under the special survivor indemnity allowance, surviving spouses and dependent children of members who die of a service-connected cause will not be subject to a full offset of survivor benefit plan payments by dependency and indemnity compensation, commonly referred to as the widows’ tax ; and while the special survivor indemnity allowance alleviates the gap in benefits, the whole Congress must work together to find a way to eliminate the widows’ tax entirely.
