Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act

This bill would expand who can get a VA memorial headstone, marker, or burial receptacle when remains are unavailable. It removes the rule that limited these memorials to people who died on or after November 11, 1998, so families of those who died earlier can qualify too. It updates VA law to cover more spouses, surviving spouses, children, and dependents of veterans or service members in these situations , and amends the section of Title 38 that governs VA headstones, markers, and burial receptacles.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Spouses, surviving spouses, children, and dependents of veterans or service members when remains are unavailable.
• What changes: The date limit (previously only for deaths on or after Nov. 11, 1998) is removed, opening eligibility regardless of when the person died.
• What it covers: VA memorial headstones, markers, and burial receptacles under existing VA programs.
