619.03 Supplemental Payments: Nursing Facility SR 05-36, 11/05 (AAM-A)

Nursing facility residents are allowed a minimum $56 personal needs allowance each month.

Issue semimonthly supplemental payments to individuals with available income less than the $56 personal needs allowance. The difference between the available income and $56 is the monthly amount of the supplemental payment. Supplemental payments are not subject to the $2.00 minimum payment requirement. See Part 617, GRANT DETERMINATION.

Example

A nursing facility resident has $25 in available income. The supplemental payment is $31 ($56 – 25 = $31). $15.50 will be issued on both the 15th and 30th.
