Consideration of Other Benefits
Section 352
Section 352.8 Consideration
of Other Benefits
a) All benefits to which a child for whom the Department has
legal responsibility, and to which the child is entitled, shall be remitted to
the Department by the issuing agency. These benefits include, but are not
limited to: social security, veterans' administration, railroad retirement and
black lung benefits, and supplemental security income.
b) Benefits received will be used to offset the Department's cost
of care for the child. When the benefits do not meet the cost of care, the
Department will assess the parents or guardian of the child's estate. The
total amount collected from the parents or guardian of the child's estate shall
not exceed the cost of the services provided minus the benefits collected.
