1) Interest earned by a designated burial fund that is only partly excluded
The customer applied and was approved in May. At the time he applied, he had a bank account for burial expense funds that he designated by title in 2006. The value of the fund in the application month was $2,102. The burial fund exclusion was $1,500 and the remaining $602 is a counted resource. The fund as a whole earns about $0.30 per month, which the customer leaves in the account. All of the interest earned since May is excluded, even though part of it was generated by the original $602 that is counted.
