§ 64-119.2. Where any person, adult or infant, entitled to payments
under chapters 5 (§§ 63-100 et seq.), 6 (§§ 63-115 et seq.), 7 (§§ 63-141
et seq.), 8 (§§ 63-162 et seq.) and 9 (§§ 63-205 et seq.) of Title 63, dies

to stop payment on any check issued but not cashed at the time of the
decedent's death and disburse said funds as hereinbefore provided. Receipts
of such person or persons receiving said funds shall be a full and complete
discharge and acquittance of said agency.
