other agencies, the individual may not be deprived of the right to
receive welfare or other payments because of the individual's admission
to a county home. However, the amount of the welfare payments may
be taken into consideration by the board of commissioners in arriving
at the amount, within the lawfully established rate as provided in
section 8 of this chapter, necessary for the support of the individual
sought to be admitted in the county home or other charitable institution.
The county office may, in fixing the amount of welfare or other
payments for the individual, take into consideration the fact that the
individual is placed in the county home or other charitable institution
and may modify the amount of the payments as the county office
considers proper under Indiana law governing public assistance.
