803 Handling of Excluded Funds
Excluded funds that are kept in a separate account, and that are not commingled in an account with non-excluded funds, shall retain their resource exclusion for an unlimited period of time. Resources which are excluded because they were counted as income prorated over a specific period of time retain their exclusion for the period of time over which they have been prorated as income, even if commingled with other non-excluded funds. (This generally applies to students and self-employed members). All other excluded moneys which are commingled in an account with no excluded funds shall retain their exemption for six months from the date they are commingled. After six months from the date of commingling, all funds in the commingled account shall be counted as a resource. Interest on accounts with commingled funds would be counted as unearned income in the month received and after that month, the interest would become a resource.
