BOP Program Statement 8570.02 § 18
FUNDS DUE DECEASED INMATES
If an inmate dies with such monies owed to them from the United States, payment is not
authorized except to a legal representative of the estate or in accord with the laws of descent and
distribution of the state of domicile.
Such claims will be settled when presented by a legal representative of the estate, or by the
deceased inmate’s relatives, showing their relationship and other necessary proof that such
arrears of compensation are properly payable to them.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
