It seeks to change how distributions are treated when they are used for the funeral expenses of the account beneficiary. Specifically, it would allow these distributions to be treated as qualified distributions. The bill defines funeral expenses to include various costs related to the care and disposition of remains. There is a $5,000 limit on the aggregate amount treated as funeral expenses for any beneficiary. These changes would apply to amounts paid after the date the Act is enacted.
