Families of certain veterans who die at home on VA hospice would get burial help.
This bill would help families cover burial costs for certain veterans. It would make sure that if a veteran received VA hospital or nursing home care, then VA hospice care at home, their family could get a burial allowance. This change would also apply to deaths that happened since 2020.
Today, families of veterans who die at home while receiving VA hospice care (even after VA hospital or nursing home care) may not be eligible for a burial allowance. If this bill becomes law, these families would be eligible for a VA burial allowance, including for deaths that occurred since 2020.
