Calculation of Cost-Share. As of November 1, 2008, Petitioner’s gross monthly income was $2,385.54. DGCS calculated the cost-share as $2,189 after allowing deductions of $9.25 for federal taxes, $136.72 for health insurance premiums and $50 for Petitioner’s personal needs allowance. The decision does not indicate what additional deduction Petitioner sought, but the DFCS calculation was affirmed as correct based on sections 2552 and 2559 of the ABD Manual.
