Referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
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.
