Bill > H3856

This bill aims to increase the reimbursement amount for veterans' burial expenses under Massachusetts state law. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 8 of Chapter 115 of the General Laws by raising the maximum reimbursement limits. Currently, the law allows for reimbursement up to $4,000, which would be increased to $7,000, and the separate limit of $5,000 would be raised to $8,000. These changes would provide greater financial support to families of deceased veterans by increasing the state's contribution toward burial and funeral-related expenses. The bill reflects a recognition of the rising costs of funeral services and a desire to offer more meaningful financial assistance to the families of veterans who have served the country.
