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.

Cutting down on government red tape even in the afterlife—love it!
