Section 4310.9 - Working client income

When a client residing in a State mental hospital or State intellectual disability center receives income for services rendered at sheltered workshops or other employment, 50% of all income over $65 per month is assessed for his cost of service provided. Any amount less than $65 per month is exempted as personal use monies. Personal use monies may be conserved for his use up to a maximum of $1,500. When the conserved fund maximum is reached, the full amount of income 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 50% of all income over $65 until funds again reach $1,500.

The provisions of this §4310.9 amended under sections 201(2) and (8) and 202 of the Mental Health and Intellectual Disability Act of 1966 (50 P.S. §§ 4201(2) and (8) and 4202).
