Any changes that you wish to make to the budget needs to be written up on a new AISH Benefits Administration Instruction Form. You must tell the Public Trustee who the payment is to be made to, the address, the amount and the payment frequency. The new Instruction Form must be signed by you and the Primary Contact Person.

If requesting a one time payment please use the section titled “One Time Expenses.”

For instance, if you would like a payment of $100.00 to buy clothing you should discuss it with your Primary Contact Person and fill in the “One Time Expenses” section as follows:

If you are making changes to recurring expenses you must list the new amounts in the “Monthly Expenses” section. It is not necessary to list all the monthly payments again. However, you may wish to, in order to review your budget, and to keep all expenditures on a single page for easy reference.

For Instance, if your rent is being changed from $375 monthly to $400 a monthly, and you and your primary contact person have decided to cover this expense by reducing spending from $40 weekly to $34 weekly, only those budget items being added or revised need to be listed. Therefore the monthly expense should be filled in as follows:

The Office of the Public Trustee will be able to compare these budget items to the existing budget on file. They will then make the appropriate changes.
