705.01 Outstanding Expenses Covered by Last Payment SR 99-09, 03/99 (FAM-A)

When a deceased TANF recipient’s last payment is returned (see Part 705 , Deceased Recipients of Financial Assistance), approve payment of outstanding recipient expenses which meet all criteria below:

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

• 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 using Form 13, Vendor Authorization and Statement, directly to a vendor via a paper check issued outside of New HEIGHTS.
