Sec.  234.13  Payment to a funeral home.

    The 1937 Act LSDP is paid to a funeral home under the following 
conditions:
    (a) A person who has assumed responsibility for all or part of the 
burial expenses files an application authorizing payment to the funeral 
home. Usually, the Board considers the person who makes the arrangements 
with the funeral home or makes a voluntary payment to the funeral home 
to be the person who has assumed responsibility for the burial expenses.
    (b) An official of the funeral home with unpaid expenses files an 
application on behalf of the funeral home after 90 days have elapsed 
from the date of the employee's death, if during that 90-day period no 
one has assumed responsibility for the payment of the burial expenses.
