7 AAC 74.050. Personal needs allowance; priority of payments from income

(a) If the department determines that legislative appropriations are sufficient, the department will pay to a resident who does not receive income of at least $100 a month the amount necessary to bring the resident's income up to $100 a month. The resident may accumulate this money in an account, but loses eligibility for the personal needs allowance if the resident accumulates $5,000 or more from any source.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by law or by a court or administrative order, a resident who is receiving payment assistance and who receives a total of more than $100 in income in a month from all sources other than the department shall apply the excess income to payments for the listed purposes, in the following priority sequence:

(1) the resident's federal income tax;

(2) the resident's medication expenses not included under (4) of this subsection;

(3) the resident's health insurance premiums;

(4) the resident's monthly rate established by 7 AAC 74.025, and ancillary charges.
