     290A.08 One claimant per household. 

    Only one claimant per household per year is entitled to 
 relief under this chapter.  Payment of the claim for relief may 
 be made payable to the husband and wife as one claimant.  The 
 commissioner, upon written request, may issue separate checks, 
 to the husband and wife for one-half of the relief provided the 
 original check has not been issued or has been returned.  
 Individuals related as husband and wife who were married during 
 the year may elect to file a joint claim which shall include 
 each spouse's income, rent constituting property taxes, and 
 property taxes payable.  Husbands and wives who were married for 
 the entire year and were domiciled in the same household for the 
 entire year must file a joint claim.  The maximum dollar amount 
 allowable for a joint claim shall not exceed the amount that one 
 person could receive.
