Manner of payment
Executive (EXC) CHAPTER 18, ARTICLE 22
§ 632. Manner of payment. 1. The award shall be paid in a lump sum,
except that in the case of death or protracted disability the award
shall provide for periodic payments to compensate for loss of earnings
or support. No award made pursuant to this article shall be subject to
execution or attachment other than for expenses resulting from the
injury which is the basis for the claim.

2. Where a person entitled to receive an award is a person under the
age of eighteen years, an incompetent, or a conservatee, the award may
be paid to a relative, guardian, committee, conservator, or attorney of
such person on behalf of and for the benefit of such person. In such
case the payee shall be required to file a periodic accounting of the
award with the office and to take such other action as the office shall
determine is necessary and appropriate for the benefit of the person
under the age of eighteen years, incompetent or conservatee.
