A 4613 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Provides for an annual adjustment for reimbursements for certain veterans funerals

This bill updates the rules for reimbursing congressionally chartered veterans' organizations for funeral and burial expenses. It requires the state to adjust the maximum reimbursement amount annually based on changes in the consumer price index, with the new calculation starting in the 2025 fiscal year. The adjustment will be published each February and will increase by at least one percent but no more than four percent, rounded up to the nearest tenth of a percent. This change ensures that the reimbursement limit, currently capped at $2,000, keeps pace with inflation to better cover rising costs for veterans' funerals.
