Military widows are stuck in the middle of a fight in Washington.
These are the families of soldiers who died while serving their country. They get certain benefits, which is money from the government to help them live.
Right now, a disagreement between political parties is stopping new help from reaching these families.
Members of Congress are arguing over the details of a bill. A bill is just a draft of a new law. Because they cannot agree on how the plan should work, the help is frozen.
This means families who rely on this money are left waiting. They do not know when the issue will be fixed.
Leaders from both parties say they want to help veterans and their families. However, they disagree on the best way to pay for it and how to organize the program.
Until they stop fighting and reach a deal, the widows will keep waiting for support.
