Protecting our Veterans’ Memories Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to pay a plot or burial allowance of $525 to a state, state agency, or local government when it buries certain family members of veterans in a cemetery it owns. Eligible family members include spouses, surviving spouses (even if they remarried), minor children (under 21, or under 23 if in school), and, at the Secretary's discretion, unmarried adult children. The $525 amount would be increased over time under the same rules that adjust the existing veteran plot allowance. The change would apply to deaths on or after the date the bill becomes law.
