Section 144-332-11-6 - CHANGES IN LIVING ARRANGEMENT

If an individual is receiving a State Supplement in one living arrangement and moves to a different arrangement, any increase in benefit will be made effective the month the individual is in the new living arrangement up to three months retroactive to the month the move is reported to the Department.

Any decrease in benefits will be given timely notice of adverse action.

For example, the individual moves from a Cost Reimbursed Boarding Home to his own home and reports this on 7/2. The August State Supplement payment will be reduced to $10.00. If this had been reported on 7/22, the September payment would be reduced to $10.00.
