A 7961 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a supplemental burial allowance for certain first responders

Bill A 7961 establishes a supplemental burial allowance for certain first responders. It amends the veterans' services law to include certified first responders who died as a result of a certified World Trade Center medical condition. This allowance would be provided to the parent of the deceased first responder, as defined by the bill. The legislation expands an existing burial benefit, previously available for uniformed service members, to cover this specific group of first responders.
