A resident of single room occupancy housing who has full-time, part-time or seasonal employment or who is receiving supplemental security income, social security disability insurance payments or any other disability or pension benefits, shall be assessed a monthly program fee of 30% of monthly gross income or $350.00, whichever is less. The assessment may begin upon the resident's receipt of a pay or benefit check.
