     611A.373 Payments. 

    Subdivision 1.    Payment requests.  Designated shelter 
 facilities may submit requests for payment monthly based on the 
 number of persons housed.  Upon approval of the request for 
 payment by the center, payments shall be made directly to 
 designated shelter facilities from per diem funds on behalf of 
 women and their children who reside in the shelter facility.  
 Payments made to a designated shelter facility must not exceed 
 the annual reserve amount for that facility unless approved by 
 the director.  These payments must not affect the eligibility of 
 individuals who reside in shelter facilities for public 
 assistance benefits, except when required by federal law or 
 regulation. 

    Subd. 2.    Reserve amount.  The center shall calculate 
 annually the reserve amount for each designated shelter 
 facility.  This calculation may be based upon program type, 
 average occupancy rates, and licensed capacity limits.  The 
 total of all reserve amounts shall not exceed the legislative 
 per diem appropriation.
