A veteran is entitled to funeral benefits if they have been _______ and served not less than how many days of active duty?

Discharged honorably; 60 days
Discharged honorably; 90 days
Discharged dishonorably; 90 days
Discharged honorably; 120 days

The correct answer is: Discharged honorably; 90 days

A veteran is entitled to funeral benefits if they have been discharged honorably and served not less than 90 days of active duty. This requirement reflects the recognition of a veteran's service to the country and aims to provide support for their final arrangements. The provision for 90 days of active duty ensures that the benefit is extended to individuals who have demonstrated a significant commitment to military service, thereby safeguarding the resources for those who have legitimately contributed to the defense of the nation. The stipulation of honorable discharge is crucial as it differentiates between veterans who have completed their service under satisfactory conditions and those whose service record may not qualify them for certain benefits due to disciplinary issues. This ensures that the benefits are reserved for those who upheld the standards expected of military personnel.
