Any unsettled balance after all such salaries and benefits have been applied shall be paid directly to the agency cashier by the person liable within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of notice/ demand from the accountant or concerned officer. On the other hand, the Commissioner Proper shall receive a monthly report of all requests received and the corresponding action thereon from the Assistant Commissioner, LSS, pursuant to the resolution.
