To verify that a property is being sold at a reasonable price, use collateral contacts and documentation such as newspaper ads or real estate broker listings.

▪ Resources of a person who lives in a shelter for battered women and children if access depends on the agreement of a joint owner who still lives in the abuser’s household.

▪ Certain trust funds. (See Trust Funds, later in this chapter.)

▪ Any resource which, if sold or otherwise disposed of, would produce a profit of $1,500 or less after the estimated costs of sale or disposition. This exclusion does not apply to stocks, bonds or other negotiable financial instruments. Indian Gambling Operations 7 CFR 273.8(e) Indian gambling operation payments when made to children are generally placed directly into an inaccessible trust. The amount held in the inaccessible trust fund is excluded as a resource. Indian Tribal Land 7 CFR 273.8(e)(10) Exclude land that is held jointly with the tribe or land that can only be sold with the approval of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

▪ Payments received under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act or the Sac and Fox Indian Claims Agreement.
