Establishes a centralized system within the Department of Veterans Affairs to store information about unclaimed veterans' remains.
The Locating Our Unclaimed Veterans Act mandates the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to create a centralized system for storing information about unclaimed veterans' remains. This system will include data from coroners, state governments, and funeral homes. The Secretary must also request relevant information from the Social Security Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Defense. The act requires annual reports on the system's implementation and outreach activities for three years. The system will expire three fiscal years after enactment.
