Rule 24.29.2843 - PAYMENT OF BENEFITS(1) The UEF pays benefits on a monthly basis.(2) The UEF will pay compensation and medical benefits incurred prior to the time the claimant applied for benefits in a lump sum, during the month in which the UEF accepts liability for the claim. The lump sum payment for accrued compensation benefits will be paid from the positive fund balance, and treated as part of the month's claim for current benefits. If as a result of the inclusion of the accrued compensation benefits there is a proportionate reduction in benefits, there is no entitlement to retroactive reimbursement.(3) If the UEF is subject to a final order from a court of competent jurisdiction requiring it to pay benefits, the UEF will pay back-due benefits a month at a time, beginning with the first month of benefits. Back-due benefits are subject to the proportional reduction which would have occurred during the month they would have been paid. The UEF will also pay current monthly benefits as set forth in (2).Mont. Admin. r. 24.29.2843
