The Missouri Veterans Commission (MVC) has announced the launch of the new electronic Pre-Certification Application for Burial. The new digital application allows Veterans and their eligible dependents to electronically pre-certify for burial benefits, submit documents, and receive real-time notifications on the status of their application. Veterans and their eligible dependents interested in burial in one of the five state Veterans Cemeteries can access the Electronic Pre-Certification Application for Burial by visiting the Missouri Citizens portal. Users will need to create an account before completing the application. More information on burial eligibility can be found at mvc.dps.mo.gov/cemeteries/. Paper applications will still be accepted, and Veterans Service Officers will continue to assist Veterans in need.
