Section 192-1-006 - Maintenance006.01. Maintenance is a limited tool for program use when the circumstances of participating in a vocational rehabilitation or independent living service cause additional costs to the recipient for food, shelter, clothing, or other subsistence items.006.02. Maintenance may be provided when participation in an assessment of eligibility and rehabilitation needs or while receiving a planned program service results in a cost to the recipient for food, clothing, shelter, or other subsistence items that exceeds his or her current subsistence expenses, including the costs of uniforms or other suitable clothing required for a recipient's training, job seeking, or job placement activities. Maintenance must be tied to other services being provided, and is intended to cover only the added costs of participating in rehabilitation, not everyday living expenses. Maintenance is a payment for additional living expenses a recipient incurs while participating in programs or services coordinated by NCBVI.006.03. Maintenance may be provided for room and board expenses while in training (including dormitory fees), and for subsistence expenses incurred during relocation, including required initial one-time costs, such as a security deposit or utility initiation charges.192 Neb.
