328 IAC 1-5-2 Fund payment procedures

Sec. 2. (a) Contingent on the availability of monies as determined by 328 IAC 1-2-3, the administrator shall authorize payment upon determining that the requirements of IC 13-23-8, IC 13-23-9, and this article have been met. Payment is made as follows: (1) When a person applying to the fund submits an application under section 1 of this rule that includes reimbursable costs for which that person has not made payment, then payment must be made jointly to the person applying to the fund and the contractor involved using a payment method accepted by the department. (2) When a person applying to the fund submits documentation verifying that the person has incurred reimbursable costs, payment must be made directly to that person using a payment method accepted by the department. (b) A determination under this rule is appealable under IC 13-23-9-4 [NOTE: IC 13-23-9-4 is repealed by P.L. 135-2026, SECTION 244, effective July 1, 2026.]. (c) Only an eligible party may seek preapproval of eligibility to have reimbursable costs or ELTF indemnity claims paid from the fund.
