Sec. 1659.1  Claims.




    Authority: Military Selective Service Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 451 et 
seq.; E.O. 11623.


    (a) Claims for payment of actual and reasonable expenses of:
    (1) Emergency medical care, including hospitalization of registrants 
who suffer illness or injury; and
    (2) The transportation and burial of the remains of registrants who 
suffer death while acting under orders issued by or under the authority 
of the Director of Selective Service will be paid in accordance with the 
provisions of this section.
    (b) Claims for payment of expenses incurred for the purposes set 
forth in paragraph (a) of this section shall be presented to the 
Director of Selective Service.
    (c)(1) The term emergency medical care, including hospitalization, 
as used in this section, shall be construed to mean such medical care or 
hospitalization that normally must be rendered promptly after an 
occurrence of illness or injury. Discharge by a physician or facility 
subsequent to such medical care or hospitalization shall be 
justification to terminate the period of emergency.
    (2) The death of a registrant shall be deemed to have occurred while 
acting under orders issued by or under the authority of the Director of 
Selective Service if it results directly from an illness or injury 
suffered by the registrant while so acting and occurs prior to the 
completion of an emergency medical care, including hospitalization, 
occasioned by such illness or injury.
    (d) No such claim shall be paid unless it is presented within the 
period of one year from the date on which the expenses were incurred.
    (e) No such claim shall be allowed in case it is determined that the 
cause of injury, illness, or death was due to negligence or misconduct 
of the registrant.
    (f) Burial expenses shall not exceed the maximum prescribed in 
Section 11 of the Military Selective Service Act in any one case.
    (g) Payment of such claims when allowed shall be made only:
    (1) Directly to the person or facility with which the expenses were 
incurred; or
    (2) By reimbursement to the registrant, a relative of the 
registrant, or the legal representative of the registrant's estate, for 
original payment of such expenses.
