Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) Program which provides income and benefits to surviving spouses of servicemembers who died or were disabled on active duty, focusing on: (1) the total amount of program benefits DIC recipients received in 1993; (2) the financial impact on surviving spouses when severely disabled veterans die; and (3) alternative ways to set DIC benefits. GAO found that: (1) in 1993, the minimum DIC benefit equaled about 55 percent of the estimated median income of DIC recipients; (2) in 1993, surviving spouses received an average of $9,846 in DIC benefits; (3) spouses of deceased and disabled veterans often receive other benefits, including Social Security and DOD survivor benefits, but they receive significantly less VA support when severely disabled veterans die; (4) surviving spouses of disabled veterans receive about 50 percent less than their spouses' basic disability compensation; (5) although some veterans receive supplemental payments in addition to basic compensation because of multiple or severe disabilities, the reduction in DIC benefits for surviving spouses can be as much as 80 percent; (6) most of the alternative methods of setting DIC benefits would likely reduce benefits to all recipients or substantially increase federal outlays; (7) basing DIC benefits on the level of veterans' basic disability compensation would increase benefits for about two-thirds of DIC recipients without increasing program costs and ensure that VA support to spouses changes more proportionately when veterans die; and (8) Congress will need to make a policy decision if it intends to change the DIC payment structure.

Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.
