HR 7729 United States House · 118th Congress

Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act

The Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act expands eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs headstones, markers, and burial receptacles by removing a requirement that veterans must have died on or after November 11, 1998. This change allows veterans who died before that date to qualify for these burial items, directly affecting veterans who previously fell outside the eligibility window. The bill also extends a related administrative deadline from October 1, 2024, to October 1, 2034, providing more time for implementation. These provisions aim to broaden access to VA burial benefits for a wider group of veterans and their families.
