Sec. 1.5. (a) As used in this section, "interim period" means the period:
(1) beginning when a township trustee obtains from a township assistance applicant or member of the applicant's household an agreement or authorization described in subsection (b); and
(2) ending when the township assistance applicant or member of the applicant's household receives the judgment, compensation, or monetary benefit or leaves the household.
(b) Subject to IC 12-20-11-5(b), if a township trustee, as administrator of township assistance, anticipates that a township assistance applicant or a member of the applicant's household is likely to receive a judgment, compensation, or a monetary benefit from a third party, the township trustee may require the applicant or the affected member of the applicant's household to:
(1) enter into a subrogation agreement; or
(2) sign a Social Security Administration's reimbursement authorization;
for the repayment of any township assistance benefits provided by the township during the interim period. A subrogation agreement authorized under subdivision (1) may only require repayment of interim benefits provided to the applicant or to the applicant's dependents who were members of the household to which township assistance benefits were paid.
