AI Summary
This bill, the Veterans Burial Benefit Correction Act, amends Title 38 of the United States Code to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide outer burial receptacles (a container that surrounds a casket or urn) for each new grave in cemeteries that are the subject of certain grants made by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Specifically, the bill requires the use of outer burial receptacles in cemeteries under the control of the National Cemetery Administration or in cemeteries that receive grants to state or tribal organizations, in accordance with regulations or procedures approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
