002.01(B)(i) HANDLING EXCLUDED LIQUID RESOURCES.

Excluded liquid resources remain excluded for an unlimited period of time if the liquid resources are kept in a separate account and not combined in an account with non‑excludable funds. Funds, other than assistantships, fellowships, and stipends, received for educational financial assistance, are excluded resources during the period the funds are intended to cover. When excluded liquid resources are combined in an account with non‑excludable funds, the excluded liquid resources remain excluded for six months from the date they were combined with non‑excluded funds. After the six months have elapsed, all funds in the combined account are counted as resources.
