With the sunset of the widow's tax earlier in 2023, Gold Star families are turning to a new fight: changing a law that takes away survivors' benefits for spouses who remarry before age 55. With the so-called "remarriage penalty" being reevaluated in Congress, an advocate shares the latest updates — and military widows share their personal experiences.
