To amend title 38, United States Code, to revise the formula for computation of dependency and indemnity compensation paid to a surviving spouse of a veteran who dies from a service-connected disability or while on active duty.
DIC Reform Act of 1990 - Revises the formula for determining the amount of dependency and indemnity compensation paid by the Department of Veterans Affairs to the surviving spouse of a veteran who dies from a service-connected disability or while on active duty. Increases such monthly amount by ten dollars for each year of active duty served by the deceased veteran. Utilizes the current DIC payment table in the case of veterans who died between January 1, 1957, and September 30, 1990, if such amount is greater than the amount determined under the revised formula.
