DEPARTMENT FOR AGING AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES AUXILIARY GRANT PROGRAM NON-SSI RESOURCE ELIGIBILITY 11/18 CHAPTER E PAGE 140 Mr. Williams reapplies in 6/06. He presents evidence that he has spent down the $600 in his bank account on living expenses in the past 3 months. As of 6/06, he has no liquid resources and his income total of $650 is below the AG rate for his area. Mr. Williams meets the undue hardship test for 6/06. The trust does not count as his resource in that month. If his situation does not change, he will qualify for an ongoing AG payment. 67.6.4.3.5. Follow-Up To A Finding Of Undue Hardship If the individual's income and resources are not expected to change significantly, contact the individual no less than every 6 months. If the individual's income and resources are expected to fluctuate, the contact period should be shorter, even monthly in some cases. At each contact: • Obtain the individual's signed allegation that failure to receive AG will deprive the individual of food or shelter. • Determine whether total income and liquid resources exceeds the AG rate. • If undue hardship is expected to continue in the future period, continue payment. • If it is not expected to continue, redetermine resource eligibility counting the trust as a resource.
