Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 5 / Friday, January 8, 2016 / Notices
Administration to furnish a casket or
urn for interment in a VA national
cemetery of the unclaimed remains of
Veterans for whom VA cannot identify
a next of kin and determines that
sufficient financial resources for the
furnishing of a casket or urn for burial
are not available. VA implemented
regulations to administer this authority
as a reimbursement benefit in Title 38,
Code of Federal Regulations, Section
38.628.
Reimbursement for a claim received
in any CY will not exceed the average
cost of a 20-gauge metal casket or a
durable plastic urn during the fiscal
year (FY) preceding the CY of the claim.
Average costs are determined by market
analysis for 20-gauge metal caskets,
designed to contain human remains,
with a gasketed seal, and external rails
or handles. The same analysis is
completed for durable plastic urns,
designed to contain cremated human
remains, which include a secure closure
to contain the cremated remains.
Using this method of computation, in
FY 2015, the average costs for caskets
were determined to be $2,421.00, and
$244.00 for urns. Accordingly, the
reimbursement rates payable for
qualifying interments occurring during
CY 2016 is $2,421.00 for caskets and
$244 for urns.
Request approval to publish in the
Federal Register, VA’s notice on the
rates of reimbursement for caskets and
urns for CY2016.
