IM-14 February 23, 2007

Excluded funds retain exclusion indefinitely if maintained in a separate account. Excluded funds commingled in an account with non-excluded funds retain exemption for six months from the date of commingling. After the six-month time limit, consider all funds in the commingled account as a resource.

NOTE: Resources of students and self-employed households that are prorated as income and are commingled in an account with non-excluded funds retain exclusion for the period of time over which they have been prorated as income.
