This bill would amend parts of Title 38 of the U.S. Code to standardize payment of burial and funeral expenses and plot allowances administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. It revises section 2303 by changing the section heading, adding a new subparagraph that explicitly covers veterans who die as a result of a service-connected disability, and renumbering other subparagraphs. The bill repeals section 2307. It also makes clerical changes to other sections (including 2308 and 5101) to update cross-references and remove mentions of section 2307.
If you are a veteran, a family member, or someone who helps veterans with benefits: this bill would change which parts of Title 38 govern burial and plot payments. It makes death from a service-connected disability a stated qualifying category and consolidates related language into section 2303. The bill text does not state specific payment amounts, timing, or how existing claims would be handled.
