(i) Stock and inventory necessary to produce self-employment income, including fish nets, traps, motor vehicles, transferable limited entry fishing permits issued under AS 16.43 (Regulation of Entry into Alaska Commercial Fisheries), and handicrafts on consignment for sale, are exempt resources if they are actually producing gross self-employment income as defined in 7 AAC 100.172, or would be producing income except for temporary factors beyond the applicant’s or recipient’s control. (j) Unless otherwise exempt under this section, real property is an exempt resource if the applicant or recipient is making a good faith effort to sell the property. For purposes of this subsection, the department will consider an applicant or recipient to be making a good faith effort to sell property if the property is actually being offered for sale on a continuous basis by being listed with a real estate broker or other licensed real estate salesperson or, if offered privately, by being advertised in the local newspaper at least once a month. A visible “for sale” sign must be posted on the property. The property must be offered at a price that is not greater than the prices for similar properties in the area.

For a trust for which the department determines that trust property or trust income is a nonexempt resource, the applicant must provide a copy of any related documents necessary to determine the net worth of that trust. If an individual who has the power to terminate or modify a trust agrees to terminate or modify the trust and release the property or the balance of the trust to the caretaker relative, the relative’s spouse, or to the child receiving Family Medicaid benefits, the trust property and trust income are nonexempt resources.
