This is the number of days in the month minus the date of eligibility
plus 1.
3. Divide the applicable SA Rate (Basic or Enhanced) by the number of
days in the month, and round to the nearest cent. This is the per diem
amount.
4. Multiply the per diem amount times the number of days of eligibility in
the month.
5. Add personal needs allowance ($70.00) to the SA rate.

Example 1: Application made on Dec 12
Number of days in month of application (28, 29, 30, 31) 31 Date of SAIH eligibility -12 Number of days eligible for payment 19 + 1 = 20 SA Basic Rate $1,397.00 Divide by Number of Days in the Month ÷31 Per diem (rounded to nearest cent) 45.064 = 45.06 Multiply by eligible days in the month
x 20
Total Per Diem for month $901.20 Add Personal Needs Allowance + 70.00 Maximum SAIH Partial Payment (not rounded) $971.20 Maximum SAIH Partial Payment (rounded to nearest dollar) $971.00
Example 2: Application made on March 18
Number of days in month of application (28, 29, 30, 31) 31 Date of SAIH eligibility -18 Number of days eligible for payment 13 + 1 = 14 SA Enhanced Rate $1,792.00 Divide by Number of Days in the Month ÷31 Per diem (rounded to nearest cent) 57.806 = 57.81 Multiply by eligible days in the month
x 14
Total Per Diem for month $809.34 Add Personal Needs Allowance + 70.00 Maximum SAIH Partial Payment (not rounded) $879.34 Maximum SAIH Partial Payment (rounded to nearest dollar) $879.00
