Fairness for Servicemembers and their Families Act of 2025

# Fairness for Servicemembers and their Families Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Does** This law requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to regularly review and update the maximum coverage amounts for life insurance programs available to military members and veterans. Specifically, the VA must conduct a review every five years and adjust coverage limits based on inflation trends measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U), which tracks price increases for everyday goods and services. This ensures that life insurance coverage keeps pace with the rising cost of living. **Who It Affects** The law primarily affects active-duty servicemembers and veterans who participate in the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance and Veterans' Group Life Insurance programs.

These are government-sponsored life insurance programs that provide death benefits to military families. By adjusting coverage amounts for inflation, the law helps ensure that surviving family members receive adequate financial protection. **Status** This bill has already been signed into law, so it is now in effect. The VA will need to establish a schedule for conducting these five-year reviews and making recommendations about whether coverage amounts should be increased to reflect inflation.
