Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill requires VA physicians and nurse practitioners to certify the death of veterans within 48 hours of learning of the death, addressing reported delays in death certificate signing that have prevented timely burial and access to survivor benefits. If a VA provider cannot meet this deadline, a local coroner or medical examiner may certify the death instead. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs must submit annual reports to Congress on compliance with this requirement, including the percentage of cases meeting the deadline and reasons for non-compliance.
