Eighty percent of the net income will be the resident fee charged. An additional $ 20.00 or 12 percent of the balance of their monthly income, whichever is less will be deposited in the welfare fund of the facility. The remainder of the net income will be deposited in the resident's personal needs account.

(b) The allowable deductions for a single resident are as follows:

1. The personal needs allowance;

2. Health insurance premiums;

3. Prepaid burial fund account: Fund allowances shall not exceed a face value of $ 12,000;

4. Court order encumbrances; and

5. Other expenses or other financial issues as may be individually approved by the Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs or designee.

(c) Any interest or payment received from a trust transfer will be treated as income. Furthermore, in situations where a trust or transfer of assets has occurred within 36 months of submitting an admission application, the value of the trust and/or assets will be deemed an accountable asset for the balance of the 36-month period.
