b) When the Administrator approves an allowance for an unusual expense, the resident's monthly maintenance charge shall be reduced by that allowance. The amount of the allowance shall then be deducted from the resident's trust fund account and payment shall be made monthly from this account by a Home to the proper payee on behalf of the resident.
