It shall likewise conduct a thorough investigation of the circumstances and motives which would prevent a service member who is a public employee, or his/her family in the event of his/her death in the line of duty, of being taken prisoner of war, or being missing in action from receiving the rights granted by this chapter. If deemed necessary, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice.
