19 changes in the income or resources available to the
20 recipient, or (4) for changes in grants resulting from
21 adoption of a consolidated grant amount.
22 In fixing standards to govern payments or reimbursements
23 for funeral and burial expenses, the Department shall take
24 into account the services essential to a dignified, low-cost
25 funeral and burial, including reasonable amounts that may be
26 necessary for burial space and cemetery charges, and any
27 applicable taxes or other required governmental fees or
28 charges.
29 Nothing contained in this Section or in any other Section
