Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act

Sponsored By: Senator Fetterman, John [D-PA]

In Committee

Summary

Expands eligibility for memorial headstones and markers. The Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act would remove the law’s November 11, 1998 cutoff so spouses, surviving spouses, children, and dependents of veterans or service members whose remains are unavailable could receive a government-provided memorial headstone or marker regardless of the date of death, and it makes no other changes to eligibility or funding.

More VA markers for pre-1998 veterans

This bill would remove the VA rule that set a November 11, 1998 cutoff for memorial headstones and markers. If enacted, the VA would be able to furnish memorial headstones and markers for veterans who died before that date. You would be able to request a VA-furnished headstone or marker under the same eligibility rules that already apply. The change would take effect upon enactment.
