GRANT DETERMINATION

A. AND-CS grants shall be calculated on an individual basis with just one client per case. B. When a client has been found eligible the amount of the client's authorized AND- CS grant payment shall be determined by deducting the client's total countable income from the AND-CS grant standard. 1. If determined eligible on the first of the month, the client shall receive his or her authorized grant payment in the initial and subsequent months. 2. If determined eligible on any other day of the month, the client's first month grant payment shall be prorated according to the number of days remaining in the month; the client shall receive their authorized grant payment in subsequent months. C. The AND-CS grant payment shall be made via Electronic Benefits Transfer, direct deposit, or warrant to the client, to a facility, or to a legally designated person, such as a representative payee, fiduciary, or conservator. D. The client shall only be eligible for a monthly Personal Needs Allowance (PNA) when program requirements are met and the client is a resident of a facility for at least thirty (30) consecutive days, as follows: 1. In a general medical and surgical hospital; 2. In a nursing home, assisted living residence, or, intermediate care facility, group home, host home, other long-term care facility, or Adult Financial approved setting. E.

If the Social Security Administration (SSA) is recovering any portion of the client's SSI payment due to an overpayment of benefits, AND-CS shall be calculated based on the gross SSI payment and not the received amount.
