Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024

When a client receives institutional services and is the recipient of benefits such as Social Security, veteran's benefits, retirement pensions, and the like, the first $60 is disregarded for the client's personal needs. All income, including interest earned, over $60 is assessed for services provided. Personal use funds may be conserved for his use up to a maximum of $1,500. When the conserved fund maximum is reached, the full amount of the benefit is assessed, less $25 per month personal use monies. If, after the assessment, the conserved fund level still exceeds the maximum of $1,500, the excess income over $1,500 is assessed. If the conserved fund account falls below $1,500, the assessment returns to all income over $60 until it again reaches $1,500.
