Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act

This bill lets more families receive a memorial headstone or marker from the Department of Veterans Affairs. It removes the old rule that only people who died on or after November 11, 1998 could get this honor when the person’s remains are not available. It makes spouses, surviving spouses, children, and dependents of veterans or service members eligible, no matter when they died, for VA-furnished memorial headstones or markers, according to the official summary and bill text .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Spouses, surviving spouses, children, and dependents of veterans or service members whose remains are not available.
• What changes: The date limit (November 11, 1998) is removed, allowing VA memorial headstones or markers regardless of date of death .
