Requires the state office for the aging to publish a "Guide to Actions When Someone Close Dies"

This bill requires New York's State Office for the Aging to create and publish a "Guide to Actions When Someone Close Dies" within one year. The guide will provide practical, plain-language information covering economic security (like pensions, insurance, and tax implications), legal steps (death certificates, wills), grief support resources, and funeral/burial options with regional cost details. It directly affects New Yorkers experiencing the loss of a loved one, particularly older adults and their families navigating these complex transitions. The Office may consult with funeral directors, mental health professionals, attorneys, and tax experts to develop the guide.
