EXAMPLE: An SSI recipient enters a public emergency shelter for the homeless on May 15, 1993,
and is still there on June 1, 1993. It is not known when a permanent housing arrangement
can be made. June 1993 is the first full month of residency in a PESH for purposes
of determining the 9-month period. The rolling 9-month period is June 1993 back through
October 1992. (From May 1993 back through October 1992, the recipient was not in a
public emergency shelter for the homeless.) The recipient stays in the shelter until
December 5, 1993, when they move to their own apartment. (For each month the recipient
remains in the PESH, the 9-month period rolls forward a month. For example, in July
1993, the rolling 9-month period is July 1993 back through November 1992.) The recipient
would receive an SSI payment under this provision for the months of June through November
1993, the 6 months throughout which the SSI recipient was a resident of a public emergency
shelter, in addition to a payment for May 1993 and December 1993 (the months of admission
and discharge).
