When a deceased casehead of a TANF/UP financial assistance group’s last payment is returned (see PART 705, DECEASED RECIPIENTS OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE), approve payment of outstanding recipient expenses that meet all criteria below:

• the expenses were incurred during that part of the month which preceded the death; and

• the expenses would have been covered by the returned payment (i.e., expenses which were included in the individual’s shelter or basic maintenance allowance).

Expenses are paid directly to a vendor via a paper check issued outside of New HEIGHTS using Form 13, Reimbursement of Death Expenses.
