Transportation reimbursement may be authorized when the Veteran is hospitalized under VA jurisdiction because the Department of Veterans Affairs has regulations that cover the costs associated with travel for eligible Veterans seeking care. When a Veteran is receiving treatment or undergoing hospitalization authorized by the VA, they may be entitled to reimbursement for transportation costs incurred to reach the facility. This is established to ensure that Veterans can access the healthcare they need without undue financial burden related to travel.

In contrast, the other situations do not typically lead to transportation reimbursement under the standard VA guidelines. For instance, while a Veteran's death can have various implications, reimbursement is not generally tied to the circumstances of their death, such as whether it occurred during active duty or if it was service-connected. Similarly, burial in a state cemetery does not inherently authorize transportation reimbursement, as this benefit falls under other specific burial provisions rather than travel expenses.
