An amendment has been offered to the Senate version of the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act to allow the children of deceased service-disabled veterans to continue operating a company as a certified SDVOSB for a limited time following the veteran's death. Under current law, if a married service-disabled veteran passes away and the veteran’s surviving spouse acquires the veteran’s ownership stake in the business, the spouse may continue to operate the company as an SDVOSB for a period that typically runs up to three years but can be as long as ten years, depending on certain factors. However, if the veteran is unmarried or if the spouse is not able to effectively run the business, there is no mechanism by which another relative of the veteran can step in and temporarily continue to operate the business as an SDVOSB. This amendment would address that problem, at least in part, by allowing a surviving child who acquires the veteran’s ownership to continue to operate the business as an SDVOSB for up to three years. As with the provision for spouses, this bill would allow business continuity for SDVOSBs while the deceased veteran’s family located a qualified and capable service-disabled veteran to operate the business for the long term. The amendment is essentially identical to legislation previously introduced in the House, H.R. 3195. I'll keep an eye on this amendment as the 2026 NDAA moves forward. https://lnkd.in/g5enJtka
