 2        (b)  Claim  is Personal.  The right to file a claim under
 3    this Act shall be personal to  the  claimant  and  shall  not

 5    of a claimant by his legal guardian or attorney-in-fact.   If

 7    thereof  shall be disbursed to his surviving spouse or, if no
 8    spouse survives, to his surviving dependent minor children in
 9    equal parts, provided the spouse or child, as  the  case  may
10    be, resided with the claimant at the time he filed his claim.
11    If  at  the time of disbursement neither the claimant nor his
12    spouse is surviving, and no dependent minor children  of  the
13    claimant  are surviving the amount of the claim shall escheat
14    to the State.

21    the  Department for purposes of paragraph (a) shall include a
22    table, appropriately keyed to the parts of the form on  which
23    the  claimant  is required to furnish information, which will
24    enable the claimant  to  determine  readily  the  approximate
25    amount of grant to which he is entitled by relating levels of
26    household   income   to   property   taxes  accrued  or  rent
