## Abstract

This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adjudication regulations to provide for payment of the minimum income annuity, authorized by Public Law 92-425 as amended, to certain surviving spouses. This amendment is necessary to reflect statutory revisions contained in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 that transfers the responsibility for paying this benefit from the Department of Defense (DoD) to VA.
