469 NAC 3-004.03
Special requirements are those that are essential because of the particular circumstances of an individual's situation. The inclusion of special requirements in the budget must be explained in the case record. In considering the need for a special requirement, the worker shall determine if the need is essential to the client's health and decency, and if the need could be met from another source. If the need is a one-time only expenditure, the worker shall consider whether the client has liquid assets available to totally or partially pay for the need. A trust that has been established for a disabled individual which has been excluded as a resource must be considered a resource for special needs.
