D. Partial Payment for Change in Living Arrangement

A beneficiary may receive both an SAIH payment and an SA payment in

the same month when the eligible individual changes living arrangement.

This may occur when an SAIH beneficiary moves to an SA facility and is

eligible for SA. If the beneficiary enters the SA facility after the first day of

the month, the first SA payment in the facility will be a partial payment.

Calculate the partial SA payment following instructions in SA-3220,

Budgeting.

This may also occur when an SA beneficiary moves to private living

arrangement, applies for and is eligible for SAIH. The beneficiary may be

eligible for a partial SAIH payment for the remainder of the month after

the 5/10-day period ends. Calculate the partial SAIH payment following

instructions in C., above.

Refer to SA-5200 VI. for eligibility procedures and the need for

collaboration in planning when a beneficiary changes living arrangement.
