Commerce and trade; benefits from governmental programs or civil or military service; provisions

Summary

The bill lets a valid power of attorney, health‑care agent, conservator, guardian, or similar representative keep limited authority after the principal dies, but only to complete a public‑benefits application and attend any related hearing or appeal. This authority ends as soon as a court‑appointed administrator or another authorized representative is named. It aims to prevent gaps in benefit claims for deceased individuals.
