16 Nov 01 MTL 05/16 BANK ACCOUNTS (Cont’d)

Example: Client applies June 30 and wishes to disprove ownership of a joint checking account. On July 10, the statements made by the account holders report in June and July $800 of the money in the account was the client’s funds. Verification of deposits substantiate their statement and there is proof the joint account is closed. When looking at the withdrawals from this account, however, the client actually used $1,000 in the month of JuneBecause the client has shown a portion of the funds were not his in June and has closed the account, he has successfully disproved ownership. However, in the month of June the evidence shows he used $200 more than his portion of the fund. Therefore, in June, $200 will be counted as income to the client when determining eligibility and patient liability.

In cases where the client did not successfully disprove ownership, notify the client in writing that ownership was not disproved and explain how income and resources are being evaluated.
