If the estate of a deceased recipient is insufficient to pay for funeral and burial expenses and if no other resources including assistance from legally responsible relatives or the United States Veterans Administration, are available for such purposes, there shall be paid, in accordance with the standards, rules and regulations of the Illinois Department, such amounts as may be necessary to meet costs of the funeral, burial space, and cemetery charges, or to reimburse any person not financially responsible for the deceased who has voluntarily made expenditures for such costs.
