Congress recites the existing duty to pay a special pension
What the document says“Pursuant to section 1562 of title 38, United States Code, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall pay monthly to each living person whose name has been entered on the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard Medal of Honor Roll a special pension.”
The fifth of the section's six findings, and the one that names the statute section 3 of this Act amends. Congress recites that section 1562 of title 38, United States Code, calls for a monthly special pension to each living person entered on the Medal of Honor Roll. That statute is cited, not indexed here.
What the document actually says“Pursuant to section 1562 of title 38, United States Code, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall pay monthly to each living person whose name has been entered on the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard Medal of Honor Roll a special pension.”
Congress says an old law tells the head of the veterans agency to pay these people each month. The pay is a special pension.
The old law is section 1562 of title 38. It covers living people whose names are on the medal list.
