(a) The Division may designate the agency licensed under N.J.A.C. 10:44A which services the individual to collect room and board directly from the person served.

1. The contract between the Division and the agency shall stipulate the terms under which the agency shall collect contributions.

2. The agency may become representative payee for the individual.

3. Where the agency is not the representative payee, the agency shall be responsible to collect the fee directly from the individual, legally responsible relative or representative payee.

(b) If the agency documents three separate unsuccessful attempts to collect the contribution, the Division shall assume responsibility for the collection of the contribution. The contract of the agency shall be adjusted as needed.

The Division shall request a change in representative payee.
