Illinois Compiled Statutes 330 ILCS 35 Prisoner of War Bonus Act. Section 4

    (330 ILCS 35/4) (from Ch. 126 1/2, par. 57.64)

    Sec. 4. The Department of Veterans' Affairs has complete charge and control of the general scheme of payments authorized by this Act and shall adopt general rules for the making of such payments, the ascertainment and selection of proper beneficiaries and the amount to which such beneficiaries are entitled, and for procedure.

    If the person to whom compensation is payable under this Act is a person under legal disability, it shall be paid to the person legally vested with the care of such legally disabled person under the laws of this State of residence. If no such person has been so designated for the legally disabled person, payment shall be made to the chief officer of any hospital or institution under the supervision or control of any State or of the Veterans Administration of the United States in which such legally disabled person is placed, if such officer is authorized to accept moneys for the benefit of the legally disabled person. Any payments so made shall be held or used solely for the benefit of the legally disabled person.

    As used in this Section, a person under legal disability means any person found to be so disabled by a court of competent jurisdiction of any State or the District of Columbia or by any adjudication officer of the Veterans Administration of the United States.
