A change in Veterans Benefits.

A change in policy for the men and women who have served our country was inspired by an upper peninsula veteran. Gerald's Law, was inspired by Gerald Elliott. Mr. Elliot died at age 86. But under the law at the time, he wasn't eligible for burial benefits because he didn't die in a VA facility. On January 2, President Biden signed Gerald's Law so that no veteran has to make a choice between dying at home or in a VA facility to receive benefits. David Barr Michigan News Source.
