Each veteran or veteran's beneficiary entitled to payment under this chapter shall make
application to the adjutant general of the state of North Dakota upon a form prescribed by the
adjutant general. If the veteran is incompetent or the veteran's beneficiary is incompetent or a
minor, application may be made by the guardian of the veteran or beneficiary, and if there is no
guardian, the person determined by the adjutant general to have assumed the major
responsibility for the care of the veteran or beneficiary and to be a proper person to receive
payment for the veteran or beneficiary may make the application. If a veteran is hospitalized in a
state, county, or federal institution and no application has otherwise been approved by the
adjutant general, the person in charge of such institution may make the application with the
approval of the adjutant general. For purposes of this section, the word "minor" does not include
the unremarried spouse of a veteran. Each application must be accompanied by a certified copy
of honorable discharge or other evidence of honorable and faithful service. Each application
must be subscribed and sworn to by the applicant in such manner as may be prescribed by the
adjutant general. The adjutant general shall provide by rule for an endorsement of the evidence
of honorable and faithful service if application for payment has been made.
