EXAMPLE: A one-person household that is not categorically eligible, with $5,000 in the bank, transfers $3,500 to a relative. A determination is made that the transfer was made for the purpose of qualifying for the program, resulting in disqualification of the household. The amount in excess of the resource limit is computed as follows:
$ 3,500 Transferred amount
1,500 Bank account
$ 5,000 (total resources)
- 2,000 (resource limit)
$ 3,000 (excess resources)
Based on this computation, the household is disqualified for a period of 9 months.
