(a) The community spouse allowance is the amount of the recipient's income that, when combined with the community spouse's own income, will bring the community spouse's total gross income as close as possible to the maximum community spouse monthly maintenance allowance authorized under 42 U.S.C. 1396 r - 5(d)(3) without exceeding that allowance.

(b) The community spouse allowance may be increased by a decision under 7 AAC 49 or court order that a greater monthly amount is needed based on extreme financial duress of the community spouse.
