ESA SNAP Policy Manual 155 Categorically Eligible Households, for additional information. Households subject to asset limits include the following:  Households that include an individual disqualified for any of the following reasons: − An IPV (see Chapter 21, Disqualification for Intentional Program Violation) − Being a fleeing felon or probation or parole violator (see Sections 8.5.1, Fleeing Felons and 8.5.2, Probation and Parole Violators) − Conviction of certain crimes and noncompliance with their sentence (see Section 8.5.5, Certain Convicted Felons) − Failure to meet the work requirements when the individual is the head of the household (see Chapter 9, SNAP Work Requirements)  Households disqualified for substantial lottery or gambling winnings (see Section 14.10, Disqualification for Substantial Lottery and Gambling Winnings) To determine the total value of available assets for a household subject to the asset limits, see Chapter 10, Resource Eligibility. The total value of available assets of a household subject to the asset limits must be compared with the appropriate asset limit in effect at the time of eligibility determination (see Table 25.3.g, Asset Limits). If the household’s assets are greater than the appropriate limit, the household is ineligible for failing to have assets less than the appropriate asset limit. Non-categorically eligible SNAP households fall into two asset limit categories (see Table 25.3.g, Asset Limits, for the current limits):  Households that include members who are 60 and older or have a disability  All other households See Chapter 14, Determining Action on Households With Special Circumstances, for instructions on counting assets for certain nonhousehold members. Legal Authority Maximum allowable financial resources (federal): SNAP: 7 USC § 2014(g), 7 CFR § 273.8(b)
