a claimant seeking to recover from the recovery fund must file a sworn
written application with the Department which must be made on the

Department staff to cause disbursement of the funds after the date
upon which such order becomes final and unappealable for purposes
of Finance Code §156.504(d), or if the Department's preliminary

and an adjudicative hearing required, for purposes of Government Code
Chapter 2001.
(c) Cooperation by Claimant Required. The claimant
must cooperate with Department staff's instructions for effectuating
disbursement of an approved claim from the recovery fund. Among other
things, the claimant must provide such information and complete such
documentation required in order to cause the claimant to be a valid
payee for purposes of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
