    (a) Service without pay. Any member of a Reserve component who 
performs active duty, active duty for training, or inactive-duty 
training without pay shall, for purposes of a death gratuity payment, be 
considered as being entitled to basic pay, including special pay and 
incentive pay if appropriate, while performing such duties.
    (b) Death occurring while traveling to and from active duty for 
training and inactive-duty training. Any member of a Reserve component 
who, when authorized or required by competent authority, assumes an 
obligation to perform active duty for training or inactive-duty training 
and who dies from an injury incurred on or after January 1, 1957 while 
proceeding directly to or directly from such active duty for training or 
inactive-duty training, shall be deemed to have been on active duty for 
training or inactive-duty training as the case may be.
    (c) Hospitalization. A member of a Reserve component who suffers 
disability while on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive-
duty training, and who is placed in a new status while he is receiving 
hospitalization or medical care (including out-patient care) for such 
disability, shall be deemed, for purposes of death gratuity payment to 
have continued on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive-
duty training, as the case may be, in the event of his death in such 
status.
    (d) Discharge or release from a period of active duty. A person who 
is discharged or released from active duty (other than for training) is 
considered to continue on that duty during the period of time required 
for that person to go to his home by the most direct route. That period 
may not end before midnight of the day on which the member is discharged 
or released.
