Sec. 38.

Upon receipt of the recommendations of the county department of social services, the state department shall determine the amount of categorical assistance to be allowed monthly, if any, and the date for which the first payment shall be made, to be payable as the state department shall decide. If a person has been authorized to receive a payment in respect to his requirements for any month for categorical assistance, no assistance shall be allowed nor shall eligibility exist for him for that month for any other categorical assistance. The state department shall cause to be made due record of all authorizations of assistance with the address of the recipient and shall furnish the county department of social services with a copy thereof. Whenever payment of assistance is made, warrants shall be drawn upon the appropriation made therefor, or other moneys available for these forms of assistance, and delivered to the recipients, or third parties acting responsibly in their behalf or the providers of goods or services authorized by the state department in accordance with such regulations as may be made by the state department.
