The department may pay, from funds appropriated to it for the purpose, a maximum of four hundred dollars toward funeral expenses on the death of a person receiving state supplementary assistance or who received assistance under a previous categorical assistance program prior to January 1, 1974, provided:
1. The decedent does not leave an estate which may be probated with sufficient proceeds to allow for payment of the funeral claim.
2. Payments which are due the decedent’s estate or beneficiary by reason of the liability of a life insurance, death or funeral benefit company, association or society, or in the form of United States social security, railroad retirement, or veterans’ benefits upon the death of the decedent, are deducted from the department’s liability under this section.
