Sec.17a-218-6. Method of payment

(a) The subsidy payment shall be made monthly to the client or his representative payee to cover housing costs for the following month. An initial subsidy payment, which may include a security deposit, may be made prior to use and occupancy of the subsidized community residence to cover housing costs for a reasonable transition period not to exceed forty-five (45) days.

(b) At least quarterly the A.R.D. shall reevaluate, or cause to be reevaluated, an updated Income Verification Form for each program participant for purposes of determining changes in income available to pay for housing costs. The amount of the subsidy payment may be adjusted at any time to reflect any change in a program participant's other sources of income and may be terminated if the other sources of income are determined sufficient to pay for the program participant's total housing costs.

(c) Prior to approval of any subsidy payment pursuant to these regulations the commissioner or his designee shall determine that the program participant has a right to use and occupancy of the premises, as evidenced by a written lease or otherwise.

(d) Each regional director shall submit reports containing information relative to various aspects of the housing subsidy program to the commissioner upon his request.
