Law

Congress would let more families qualify for Veterans Affairs-provided headstones, grave markers, and burial receptacles.
The change would apply to certain eligible people who died before November 11, 1998, removing a date limit in current law.
This could help families who want an official VA memorial but were previously turned away because their loved one died before that date.
If passed, the Veterans Affairs Department would update its rules so these memorial items can be provided for the newly covered group.
