6400.16Individual #1 resides in a community home operated by Sisters and Brothers Keepers, Inc. Individual #1 began receiving residential habilitation services on 7/9/24. Per the current ISP, last updated 3/18/26, the individual needs assistance to manage money and to make large purchases to ensure they are getting the correct change and not getting over charged. They also need assistance with maintaining their finances day to day and for long-term future planning. Individual #1 has been paying 763.20/mth for room and board since their admission date of 7/9/24 according to the most recent and only room and board contract in the record. This amount exceeded 72% of the SSI maximum rate in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Per regulation 6100.686a1 and ODP bulletin 00-25-01 the room and board rate should be charged at 72% of the SSI maximum rate. Based off 72% of the SSI maximum payment plus the state supplementary payment of $22.10/mth, the maximum amount for room and board was $694.87/month for 2024, $712.15/mth for 2025, and $731.59/mth for 2026. Due to the provider's miscalculation of the room and board rate this caused the individual to be overcharged for room and board since their admission date of 7/9/24 and led to ongoing financial exploitation of the individual and their funds.Abuse of an individual is prohibited. Abuse is an act or omission of an act that willfully deprives an individual of rights or human dignity or which may cause or causes actual physical injury or emotional harm to an individual, such as striking or kicking an individual; neglect; rape; sexual molestation, sexual exploitation or sexual harassment of an individual; sexual contact between a staff person and an individual; restraining an individual without following the requirements in this chapter; financial exploitation of an individual; humiliating an individual; or withholding regularly scheduled meals.The individual's monthly Room and Board contract showed a miscalculation that was based on wrong information (Award letter).

The new Room and Board contract has been recalculated with the correct amounts as follows: 694.87 for 2024, 712.15 for 2025 and $731.59 for 2026 monthly. This is signed by the individual and provider. Representative payee has been contacted and provided with the new room and board agreement.
