(a) Immediately upon the effective date of the appointment of a short-term
guardian, the short-term guardian shall assume all duties as short-term

short-term guardian shall have the authority to apply for and receive on behalf
of the minor benefits to which the child may be entitled from or under federal,
State, or local organizations or programs.
