Non-liquid resources include vehicles, buildings, land, or certain other property. The equity value of Non- liquid resources is countable (except for vehicles, as explained in manual section A-550) unless the resource is specifically exempted. 516 PERSONAL POSSESSIONS Personal possessions include furniture, appliances, jewelry, clothing, livestock, farm equipment and other items if the applicant uses them to meet personal needs essential for daily living. Family pets or ownership of animals (not income producing), which include a variety of animals and livestock (e.g., horses, rabbits, dogs, cats [big/small], snakes, monkeys, fish), are not a resource. However, always evaluate the ownership of large numbers or herds of animals to determine if they are part of an income producing business. 520 RESOURCE LIMITS A household is ineligible if the total value of countable resources: ● Is over $10,000 per TANF assistance unit. On or after the first interview date is: ● Over $4,500 in households with a disabled member or a member age 60 or over; ● Over $3,000 for all other households. CATEGORICALLY ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLDS Do not apply the SNAP resource test to households that have been determined categorically eligible based on the policy in A­ 100. It is not necessary to request or verify resources when the entire household has been determined categorically eligible.
