paying hard-to-find survivors of recently deceased veterans.

When a veteran passes away, the surviving spouse or child is often owed certain benefits, such as life insurance proceeds. The survivors and families of deceased veterans often face financial hardship, and timely payments are, therefore, critical, but VA often struggles to identify, locate, and pay some survivors of recently deceased veterans. As a result, tens of millions of dollars in survivor payments remain undisbursed after a year, with some payments many years late. According to the VA, as of September 2020, the Department owed more than $155 million in undisbursed life insurance benefits to nearly 15,000 individuals. On average, this represents approximately $10,500 per family.

Improve and better publicize an existing online tool that veterans' families can use to search for money they may be owed.
