            a.               Elect to receive all business mail personally and provide the resident finance office with financial documentation, or

            b.               Designate that the member shall receive personal mail items, but business mail received at IVH from entitlement sources or concerning assets shall be routed to the resident finance office, cashier’s office or Medicare office, whichever is appropriate.
