by his legal guardian or attorney-in-fact. If a claimant dies
after having filed a timely claim, the amount thereof shall be
disbursed to his surviving spouse or, if no spouse survives, to
his surviving dependent minor children in equal parts, provided

disbursement neither the claimant nor his spouse is surviving,
and no dependent minor children of the claimant are surviving

both members of a household are otherwise entitled to claim a
grant under this Act, they must agree as to which of them will
file a claim for that year.
(d) (Blank).
(e) Pharmaceutical Assistance Procedures. Prior to July 1,
2012, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall
determine eligibility for pharmaceutical assistance using the
applicant's current income. The Department shall determine a
person's current income in the manner provided by the
Department by rule.
