Repeals the requirements that the former spouse be unmarried and have no medical coverage under an employee-sponsored health plan.
Grants medical benefits to a former spouse who has a disease or disability attributable to the nature or location of a member's or former member's military service. Limits the health care available to such former spouses to that necessary for the treatment of such a disease or disability.
Applies this Act to all eligible former spouses, regardless of the date of divorce.
