AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal law on burial benefits paid by the Department of Veterans Affairs for deceased veterans. It repeals Section 2307 of title 38, the separate section for veterans who die from a service-connected disability. It adds those veterans as a new category under Section 2303, which covers burial and funeral expenses and plot allowances. It also renames Section 2303 and updates cross-references in other sections to match.
