                       TITLE 32--NATIONAL DEFENSE
 
        CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (CONTINUED)
 
PART 270_COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN FORMER OPERATIVES INCARCERATED BY THE 
 
                            Subpart D_Payment
 
Sec. 270.11  Limitation on disbursements.

    Notwithstanding any agreement (including a power of attorney) to the 
contrary, the Commission must disburse a payment under this part only to 
the person who is eligible for the payment, i.e., the commando, his 
surviving spouse, children, parents, or siblings. The Commission may, in 
its discretion, require the person who is eligible for the payment to 
appear at any designated Defense Finance Accounting Service disbursement 
office in the United States to receive payment. The Commission may, in 
its discretion, coordinate with other U.S. governmental agencies to 
facilitate disbursement of payments to persons eligible for payments who 
reside outside the United States. If an eligible person makes a written 
request that payment be made at an alternate location or in an alternate 
manner, the Commission may, in its discretion, grant such request, 
provided that the actual disbursement of the payment (i.e., the physical 
delivery of the payment) is made only to the eligible person. The 
Commission will not

disburse payment to any person other than an eligible person, 
notwithstanding any written request, assignment of rights, power of 
attorney, or other agreement. In the case of an application authorized 
for payment but not disbursed as a result of the foregoing, the 
Secretary will hold the funds in trust for the person authorized to 
receive payment in an interest bearing account until such time as the 
person complies with the conditions for disbursement set out in this 
part.
