This allowance shall be used to purchase clothing, recreational needs or activities, therapeutic equipment, transportation, and other personal and comfort items for the client. The amount of the allowance shall be determined annually by the client, the direct service worker, the appropriate program office and the provider of services. The allowance shall not exceed $100 per month. This amount may be adjusted annually to reflect changes in the cost of living.
