Ineligible with Respect to Need: Material Change in Income or Resources During Last Six Months

A change in income or resources should be regarded as material only if the additional income is substantial in relation to the need for assistance. A material change in income or resources may result from the conversion of nonliquid assets into cash or other non-income producing assets into income producing assets, as well as from earnings or other direct income. A material change in income or resources does not necessarily mean a change with respect to cash income. For example, a recipient who has been keeping house may go to live with another person who provides food, clothing, and shelter.
