The Defense Authorization Act of FY
1998, P.L. 105-85, Section 644 (as amended by P.L. 106-65, Section
656) requires the Secretary of Defense to pay an annuity to

Annuity - Certain Military Surviving Spouses, used in this

information to determine if the applicant is eligible for the
annuity benefit and make payment to the surviving spouse.
