The term "the institution" refers to the facility where the individual is physically
confined. Reinstate benefits when the individual is "officially" released from confinement
in the facility, unconditionally (set free completely) or conditionally (released
from confinement but still subject to supervision and monitoring rules). Transferring
the inmate from one facility to another does not qualify as an "official" release
from the institution.
Reinstate benefits if the beneficiary is on "official" conditional release and resides
in a group home in the community. (The fact that the group home may receive a subsidy
from the State mental health agency is not material to the decision to reinstate benefits.)
