The bill would increase the amount of money the Department of Veterans Affairs pays toward burial and funeral costs when a veteran dies from a service-connected disability. This would help veteran families cover these expenses more fully, reducing their out-of-pocket costs during an already difficult time. The change would affect veterans and their families who are eligible for VA burial benefits.
