COUNTABLE RESOURCES

A. Liquid Resources Liquid resources are assets such as cash on hand, money in checking or savings accounts, saving certificates stocks or bonds, or lump sum payments as specified in Section 4.405, F. B. Non-Liquid Resources A non-liquid resource is any tangible real property such as buildings, land, and vacation homes. The value of non-liquid resources, unless exempt under Section 4.410 or specified under Section 4.408.1 shall be the equity value. The equity value is the fair market value minus the verified amount owed. C. Jointly Owned Resources Nonexempt liquid and non-liquid resources owned jointly by separate households shall be considered available in their entirety to each household, unless it can be demonstrated by the applicant household that it does not have access to such resources. If only a portion of the resource is accessible, that portion which is available to the household is considered as a resource. The resource shall be considered totally inaccessible to the household if the resource cannot practically be subdivided and the household's access to the value of the resource is dependent on the agreement of a joint owner who refuses to comply. For the purpose of this provision, ineligible non-citizens or disqualified individuals residing with the household shall be considered household members. D. Co-Mingled Resources Exempt monies 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. Those excluded shall retain their exemption for six (6) months from the date they are commingled. After six (6) months from the date of commingling, all funds in the commingled account shall be counted as a resource.
