The Division allows a patient or resident to retain a portion of any income earned while in a mental health institution. The amount of earned income to be excluded in the calculation of ability-to-pay is determined by subtracting $65 from earned income. An additional $25 will be subtracted from the total income (both earned and unearned) as an allowance for personal need.
