The bill adds a plot allowance for spouses and children of veterans buried in State cemeteries.

  • Section 2303

    (c)(1) In the case of an individual described in paragraph (2) who is buried in a cemetery that is owned by a State or by an agency or political subdivision of a State, the Secretary shall pay to such State, agency, or political subdivision the sum of $525 (as increased from time to time under subsection (d)) as a plot or interment allowance for such individual. (2) An individual described in this paragraph is a spouse, surviving spouse (which for purposes of this subsection includes a surviving spouse who had a subsequent remarriage), minor child (which for purposes of this subsection includes a child under 21 years of age, or under 23 years of age if pursuing a course of instruction at an approved educational institution), or, in the discretion of the Secretary, unmarried adult child of any person described in paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), or (7) of section 2402 of this title.

    This provision establishes a new plot allowance for certain family members of veterans buried in State cemeteries.

  • Section 2303

    subsection (b) → subsections (b) and (c)

    This change updates the reference in subsection (d) to include both subsections (b) and the newly added (c).

  • Section 2303

    subsection (c) → subsection (d)

    This change updates the references to subsection (c) to now refer to subsection (d).

  • Section 2303

    (d) As used in this section, the term 'plot allowance' means a payment made to a State, agency, or political subdivision for the interment of an individual described in subsection (c).

    This defines 'plot allowance' for clearer understanding and implementation.
