Many widows and widowers lose their pensions or see cuts in their Social Security which they need to maintain decent lives - if they remarry. House Bill 1826 would give committed senior couples the legal recognition and benefits they need and deserve like the right to visit a loved one in the hospital - without forcing anyone to lose benefits.
