Such determination shall be subject to review and hearing, upon application of such relative, in the manner prescribed pursuant to ORS 412.069. However, the pendency of such application, review or hearing shall not stay the effect of such determination. (2) The department may designate any responsible individual, including any public officer or employee, as a representative payee if such individual is willing to act in such capacity. Representative payees shall receive no compensation for their services, but shall be allowed expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in the performance of their duties under ORS 412.029. Such expenses shall be paid from funds appropriated to the department for administrative expenditures. (3) During the time payments of aid pursuant to the temporary assistance for needy families program with respect to a dependent child or relative are made to a representative payee, the department shall: (a) Undertake and continue special efforts to develop greater ability on the part of such relative to manage funds in such manner as to protect the welfare of the relative and the family of the relative; and (b) Periodically review the determination made pursuant to subsection (1) of this section and terminate payments to the representative payee if it is established by such review that the conditions justifying such determination no longer exist.

If a guardian or a conservator of the estate of the relative is appointed and duly qualified, money payments of aid otherwise payable to the relative, or representative payee, shall be paid to the guardian or the conservator until the department determines that the conditions which would justify money payments of aid to a representative payee under ORS 412.026 no longer exist.
