____________________________________________________________

When a deceased OAA, APTD, or ANB financial assistance recipient’s last payment is returned (see PART 701, DECEASED RECIPIENTS OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE), payment of outstanding recipient expenses that meet all criteria below may be approved by the State Office Finance Unit:

• 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., were included in the assistance grant.

Expenses are paid directly to a vendor via a paper check issued outside of New HEIGHTS*. Contact the State Office Finance Unit for further instructions regarding any expenses that meet the above criteria.
