S. 3898, known as Gerald's Law Reauthorization Act of 2026, extends burial benefits for veterans who die at home while receiving hospice care from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill amends existing law by pushing back the expiration date of these benefits from 2026 to 2030, allowing eligible veterans to continue receiving burial assistance for an additional four years. This legislation affects veterans enrolled in VA hospice care programs who wish to die at home and ensures their families receive burial benefits without those benefits expiring. The bill carries no new funding requirements, as it simply extends an existing program. Introduced in February 2026 by Senator Boozman and Senator Peters, the measure was referred to the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
