If any participant or beneficiary is a minor or is, in the judgement of the Board, otherwise incapable of personally receiving and giving valid receipt for any payment due him under the plan, or the Board has reason to so believe, the Board may, unless and until claims are made by a duly appointed guardian or committee of the person, make a payment or any part thereof to the person’s spouse, children, or other persons deemed by the Board to have incurred expenses or assumed responsibility for the expenses of the person. In its sole discretion, the Board may delay any such payment until the appointment of a guardian by an appropriate court. Any payment so made shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the plan for the payment.
