I

I for the period from June 6, 1965 to June 19, 1965. The Department of Public Aid of Ford County had determined I that the recipient was eligible to receive aid under its proI gram of Assistance to the MedicalIy Indigent Aged, but the Department denied the claim on the basis that the funds appropriated for such payment had lapsed. On March 7, 1966, a complaint in this matter was filed in the Court of Claims, which requested payment of the sum of $72.03.

A Departmental Report was filed in the matter, which stated: Tlaimant is justly entitled to the payment of $72.03.”

Subsequently a written stipulation was entered into between claimant and respondent, which found that claimant had furnished services to the said Mayme M. Hatter; that said charges were reasonable and equitable; and, that claimant was entitled to be reimbursed in the amount of $72.03.

It appears that all qualifications for an award have been met in the instant case. (Memoria2 Hospital of DuPage [*330] County, a Corporation. vs. State of Illinois, No. 5196, opinion filed January 29, 1965.)

Claimant is hereby awarded the sum of $72.03.
