REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article 16, §

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the phrase "send
the payments to the recipient" is substituted for the
former phrase "for remittance to the person entitled
to receive the payments", for clarity and conciseness.
