619.03 Supplemental Payments: Nursing Facility SR 10-21, 07/10 (AAM-A)

Nursing facility residents are allowed a minimum $65 personal needs allowance each month.

Issue semimonthly supplemental payments to individuals with available income less than the $65 personal needs allowance. The difference between the available income and $65 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 $30 in available income. The supplemental payment is $35 ($65 – $30 = $35). $17.50 will be issued on both the 15th and 30th.
