Bill Summary
Relative to establishing a COVID-19 funeral and burial assistance fund. Covid-19 and Emergency Preparedness and Management.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the COVID-19 Funeral and Burial Assistance Fund, to be administered by the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. The purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance in the form of grants of up to $8,000 to low-income families (those with income not exceeding 200% of the federal poverty level) to help cover funeral, burial, cremation, and other postmortem expenses resulting from COVID-19 deaths. The fund will be credited with all amounts transferred or contributed to it, and any remaining money at the end of a fiscal year will not revert to the General Fund. The bill takes effect upon passage and applies to claims for postmortem expenses during the COVID-19 emergency declaration period, and the Comptroller is directed to transfer $5 million from the General Fund to the new assistance fund.
