239B.13 NEEDY RELATIVE PAYEE -- PROTECTIVE PAYEE --
VENDOR PAYMENT.
1. The department may provide for a needy relative to act as a
payee when the parent of a participant family is in the home but is
unable to act as the payee.
2. The department may order the cash assistance under this
chapter to be paid to a protective payee if it has been demonstrated
that the specified relative with whom the child is residing is unable
to manage the assistance in the best interest of the child.
Protective payment of cash assistance shall not be made beyond a
period of two years. The department may petition the district court
sitting in probate to establish, pursuant to chapter 633, a
conservatorship over a participant. If a conservatorship is
established, the participant's cash assistance shall be paid to the
conservator. In addition to the cash assistance, an amount not to
exceed ten dollars per case per month may be allowed for
conservatorship or guardianship fees if authorized by court order.
The department may pay cash assistance or other cash benefits to a
third party if the department determines that a third-party payment
is essential to assure the proper use of the assistance or benefits.
