A.
AND-CS grants shall be calculated on an individual basis with just one client

grant standard.

the first of the month, the client shall receive his or her authorized grant
payment in the initial and subsequent months.
2. If determined eligible on any other day of
the month, the client's first month grant payment shall be prorated according
to the number of days remaining in the month; the client shall receive their
authorized grant payment in subsequent months.

Electronic Benefits Transfer, direct deposit, or warrant to the client, to a
facility, or to a legally designated person, such as a representative payee,
fiduciary, or conservator.

calendar month that the client is a resident in an approved facility.
