    If the insured by notice in writing to the Department of Veterans 
Affairs during his or her lifetime has provided that a designated 
beneficiary shall be entitled to the proceeds of United States 
Government life insurance only if such beneficiary shall survive him or 
her for such period (not more than 30 days), as specified by the 
insured, no right to the insurance shall vest as to such beneficiary 
during that period. In the event such beneficiary fails to survive the 
specified period, payment of the proceeds of United States Government
