U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Reimbursement assistance for qualifying veteran burial, funeral, plot, interment, or transportation costs.
How to get help
Apply online through VA.gov or mail VA Form 21P-530EZ to the VA Pension Intake Center. Prepare a death certificate showing cause of death, transportation receipts if claiming transportation costs, and recommended military separation records; medical evidence may be needed for a service-connected claim. Filing deadlines vary by the type of allowance and circumstances.
Who this service helps
The claimant generally must have paid the veteran's burial or funeral costs without reimbursement from another organization, have a qualifying relationship or professional role, and meet VA rules concerning the veteran's discharge, death, benefit status, or location of death. Requirements differ for service-connected and non-service-connected deaths.
