Locating Our Unclaimed Veterans Act

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to set up a central system to store information about unclaimed human remains that may belong to veterans. The system would hold information sent by coroners, state governments, and funeral homes, along with details such as names, fingerprints, and estimated age at death when available. The department would request related information from the Social Security Administration, the FBI, and the Department of Defense under existing data-sharing agreements and could seek new agreements. The department would report to Congress each year for three years, and the program would end after the third fiscal year following enactment.
