Faster and Simpler Funeral Benefits: New Payment and Application Rules.
The draft bill introduces changes to simplify and speed up the process of obtaining funeral benefits. In many cases, establishing the right to the benefit will not require an administrative decision, and the payment deadline will be shortened to 14 days. Applications can be submitted directly or through a funeral home.
Key points
Establishing the right to a funeral benefit will generally not require an administrative decision (with specific exceptions).
The deadline for paying the funeral benefit (or issuing a decision, if required) will be 14 days from the clarification of the last circumstance.
Applications for the benefit can be submitted to the pension authority directly or through a funeral home.
A funeral benefit paid to an unauthorized person for reasons independent of the pension authority will be considered an unduly collected benefit.
