To amend the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to direct the President to end financial assistance for funeral expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
HR 10399 amends the American Rescue Plan Act to end federal funding for funeral expenses related to the March 13, 2020, COVID-19 emergency declaration. It modifies Section 4006(a) to explicitly prohibit the President from using federal funds for such funeral costs under the existing program. This change directly affects individuals who previously received federal assistance for funeral expenses tied to pandemic-related deaths. The bill does not eliminate all funeral assistance but specifically removes funding for expenses linked to the original COVID-19 emergency declaration. It is a procedural amendment to existing law, not a new policy.
