V.  LIEN/BILL
          A.  When Minnehaha or Lincoln County Human Services assistance has been

                such assistance. That bill may be enforced as a lien against any property which
                the recipient and the recipient’s spouse may have at that time or later acquire.
               This lien remains in effect until paid in full or compromised with the County
               Commission. This bill follows the person and property owned anywhere.

         A. Any person may be denied or terminated from assistance who, by means of an
                intentionally false statement, misrepresentation, impersonation, or other willfully
                fraudulent act or device, obtains or attempts to obtain any assistance otherwise
                merited.
 
         B. Failure of the applicant to responsibly perform the duties set forth in V1 above
                may be grounds for denial or termination of assistance.
 
I have read the rights and responsibilities that are mine under the County Human Services
Program. Questions that I have concerning these rights and responsibilities have been fully explained to me. I understand and accept my rights and responsibilities under this program as set forth in state law and referenced above.
