house 03/27/2025 - 119th Congress
We aim to amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow individuals to use their health savings accounts (HSAs) for funeral expenses without penalty. This change would provide financial support to grieving families by considering these expenses as qualified distributions, easing the burden during difficult times.
