Faster Payments to Veterans' Survivors Act of 2022
Summary
The Faster Payments to Veterans' Survivors Act of 2022 is a procedural bill that shortens the timeframe for VA life insurance benefit claims from two years to one year for primary beneficiaries and from four years to two years for no designated beneficiary. It does not authorize or appropriate any new funding, nor does it create a direct revenue stream for any publicly traded company. The bill is already signed into law, so no legislative path remains.

Full Analysis
This bill, signed into law on December 27, 2022, amends title 38 of the U.S. Code to expedite the payment of life insurance benefits to survivors of veterans under the National Service Life Insurance (NSLI) and United States Government Life Insurance (USGLI) programs. The key change reduces the waiting period before the VA can pay an alternate beneficiary from two years to one year after the insured's death if the primary beneficiary has not claimed, and from four years to two years if no designated beneficiary claims. The bill also clarifies the beneficiary designation process. No funding is authorized or appropriated; the bill simply changes administrative timelines and procedures within the VA. As a signed law with no financial allocation, it has no direct market impact on any publicly traded company. The VA administers these insurance programs internally, and no private insurers or contractors are involved in the payment process. The bill's policy area is Armed Forces and National Security, but its mechanism is purely administrative and affects only VA internal operations, not defense contractors or healthcare providers. The effective date applies to deaths occurring on or after December 27, 2020, meaning the law is already in effect and fully implemented.

Delivering Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations for Americans
This executive order directs HHS to establish a 'Gold Standard' childhood vaccine schedule with fewer recommended vaccines than current CDC guidelines, mandates that MMR be administered as three separate single-disease shots when domestically available, and instructs the DOJ to challenge state vaccine mandates that do not provide religious or medical exemptions. It also orders HHS to develop alternative adjuvants to aluminum and improve vaccine safety monitoring, while preserving access to existing vaccines.
Continuing to Protect the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship
This executive order directs federal agencies, including State, Justice, Homeland Security, and Social Security, to deny U.S. citizenship documentation to children born in the U.S. whose parents include alien enemies, foreign government employees, or those involved in commercial birth tourism or surrogacy, or who are born in territories without statutory citizenship. It implements a narrow interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment following the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Barbara, effectively restricting birthright citizenship for specific categories of non-citizen parents.
Ending Birth Tourism
This executive order directs the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to prevent foreign nationals from entering the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas for the purpose of giving birth (birth tourism), including revoking visas, barring entry, and taking action against facilitators. It defines birth tourism as entry via nonimmigrant visa for childbirth and allows humanitarian or national interest exemptions.
