§ 30:4-77.
The commissioner, with regard to State institutions, or the board of chosen freeholders,
or a proper committee thereof, with regard to county institutions, may compromise
and settle any claim due a State institution or due the board of freeholders for the
support of a patient. A memorandum of the compromise and settlement made by the commissioner shall be
sent to the State institution affected thereby and with regard to a compromise and
settlement made by a board of freeholders, or a committee thereof, same shall be entered
in the official minutes of the proceedings of the board or committee. When it appears that a patient having moneys on deposit at the institution is sufficiently
recovered to be released on convalescent leave to the community and that such patient
is without sufficient income or other funds to provide for his essential requirements
of transportation, food, clothing, housing and the like for establishment of his normal
life in the community until he becomes gainfully employed or otherwise provided for,
the chief executive officer of the institution, in his discretion, may permit such
patient to have a reasonable sum of money from his funds sufficient to meet such requirements
and to enable the patient to become established in the community. A report of any such payments made shall be furnished the board of managers or the
board of chosen freeholders, as the case may be, to be entered in the official minutes
of the next succeeding meeting of the board.
