Sets who receives a veteran's unpaid pension after death

Sets an order of who gets a veteran's pension that was approved before the veteran died but paid afterward, and requires claims within one year of death.

• Payment goes first to a surviving spouse, then children, then dependent parents, then the estate
• Claims for the unpaid pension must be filed within one year of the veteran's death
• If no one applies within a year, the pension goes to the estate unless it would go to the state
