When a client residing in a State mental hospital or State intellectual disability center receives income for services rendered at sheltered workshops or other employment, 50% of all income over $65 per month is assessed for his cost of service provided. Any amount less than $65 per month is exempted as personal use monies. Personal use monies may be conserved for his use up to a maximum of $1,500. When the conserved fund maximum is reached, the full amount of income is assessed less $25 per month personal use monies. If, after the assessment, the conserved fund level still exceeds the maximum of $1,500, the excess income over $1,500 is assessed. If the conserved fund account falls below $1,500, the assessment returns to 50% of all income over $65 until funds again reach $1,500.
