If a program provider receives a request from an individual or other person except program provider staff to expend an individual's personal funds without obtaining a receipt and the individual's IDT determines that the expenditure is in the best interest of the individual, the program provider may release such funds to the requestor.
  (1) The request must be written, signed by the requestor, and specify the amount and purpose of the expenditure.
  (2) A check is not considered a written request for personal funds, even if it is written and signed by the individual.
