described in 38 U.S.C. 5121(a). When
there are no eligible survivors entitled to
accrued benefits based on their
relationship to the deceased beneficiary,
the person or persons who bore the
expenses of the beneficiary’s last illness
and burial may claim reimbursement for
these expenses from accrued amounts.

households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 7,920
