                     Subpart C_Filing An Application
 
Sec. 217.19  Representative of the claimant selected after application 
is filed.

    (a) Before benefits awarded. If the Board selects a representative 
for an incompetent claimant (see part 266 of this chapter) after an 
application is filed but before the benefit is awarded, a new benefit 
application must be filed by the representative. However, benefits will 
be paid using the filing date of the original benefit application.
    (b) After benefits awarded. If the Board selects a representative 
after a monthly annuity was awarded to another person, the 
representative must apply as a substitute payee on a form specifically 
designed for that purpose. A new annuity application is not required.
