(c) Burial expenses paid by other agencies of the United States. (1) Burial allowance when Federal law or regulation also provides for payment. VA cannot pay the nonserviceconnected burial allowance when any Federal law or regulation also specifically provides for the payment of the deceased veteran’s burial expenses. However, VA will pay the nonserviceconnected burial allowance when a Federal law or regulation allows the payment of burial expenses using funds due, or accrued to the credit of, the deceased (such as Social Security benefits), but the law or regulation does not specifically require such payment. In such cases, VA will pay the difference between the total burial expenses and the amount paid thereon under such provision, not to exceed the amount specified in 38 U.S.C. 2302. (2) Payment by service department. Burial allowance is not payable for deaths in active military service, or for other deaths where the burial expenses are paid by the service department. (3) When veteran dies while hospitalized. When a veteran dies while hospitalized at the expense of the United States government (including death in a VA facility), the veteran’s service department may be authorized to pay burial benefits under 10 U.S.C. 1481 or to reimburse an individual who paid such expenses under 10 U.S.C. 1482. The deceased veteran may also qualify for VA burial benefits. Only one of these benefits is payable. VA will attempt to locate the nearest relative or person entitled to reimbursement and will ask that individual to elect between these benefits. (d) Effect of payments made to a designated beneficiary of contract or insurance policy. A contract or insurance policy that provides for payment on the death of a veteran to a designated beneficiary, who is not the person that actually provided the burial and funeral services, will not bar payment of burial benefits to the beneficiary. Payment is not barred even if the organization that issued the contract or policy has the option of making payment directly to the provider of the burial and funeral services. ebenthall on PRODPC61 with PROPOSALS (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 2302(b), 2307) § 5.652 Effect of forfeiture on payment of burial benefits. (a) Forfeiture for fraud. VA will pay burial benefits, if otherwise in order, based on a deceased veteran whose rights to receive VA benefits were forfeited due to fraud under § 5.676. However, VA will not pay burial VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:21 Apr 07, 2008 Jkt 214001 benefits to a claimant who participated in fraudulent activity that resulted in forfeiture under § 5.676. (b) Forfeiture for treasonable acts or for subversive activity. Burial benefits are not payable based on a period of service commencing prior to the date of commission of the offense where either the veteran or claimant has forfeited the right to gratuitous benefits § 5.677 or § 5.678 by reason of a treasonable act or subversive activities, unless the offense was pardoned by the President of the United States. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 6103, 6104, 6105) § 5.653 1958. Eligibility based on status before When any person who had a status under any law in effect on December 1, 1957, which afforded entitlement to burial benefits dies, the burial allowance will be paid, if otherwise in order, even though such status does not meet the service requirements of 38 U.S.C. chapter 23.
