Tenant about to get full rent paid by Section 8 but behind in the rent right now.

Hello Guys, 

So I have a tenant that receives Local City DSS Payments for rent.  Her payments were recently reduced from 90% of the rent to about 40% of the rent.   She recently qualified for section 8 and I will actually be raising her rent on the next lease from $750 to $850.  

That $850 will be completely paid for by section 8 but I have the feeling she is going to try to stiff me on the cash she owes me from her portion of last months rent.    

Do I evict her or suck it up for the the payments that I know I will receive?    I know if I evict her I will lose the money she owes me anyway?  I feel like she has me by the onions on this one.
