Ensures families get VA pension money approved before a veteran's death. If payment arrives after death, it goes to the spouse, then children, then dependent parents, or the estate (unless the estate would go to the state). If no one files within one year, it goes to the estate. Applies to deaths after the law begins. Also extends a current limit on some pension payments by one month, to Feb 28, 2033. This helps survivors receive money the veteran earned and clarifies who gets paid.
