200.1 Purpose This section describes the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) resource limitations, included and excluded resources, and disqualification for certain transfers of resources. Please note that resources are not considered when determining eligibility for categorically eligible households.

Almost all SNAP households are categorically eligible and this policy on counting resources does not apply to them. 200.3 Included Resources for Households That Are Not Categorically Eligible A.
