DEPARTMENT FOR AGING AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES AUXILIARY GRANT PROGRAM NON-SSI RESOURCE ELIGIBILITY 11/18 CHAPTER E PAGE 50 unless John was her fiduciary. The full value of the account would be a resource to John. • Withdrawals Require Authorization of Third Party An account is titled, “George Dailey, restricted Individual Indian Money Account.” Mr. Dailey cannot withdraw funds from the account without Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) authorization. Therefore, the account is not his resource. 25.4.2. Examples of Restricted Use • Use Restricted by Court Order Even with ownership interest and the legal ability to access property, a legal restriction against the property's use for the owner's own support and maintenance means the property is not the owner's resource. • Special Purpose Accounts An account is titled, “Thomas Green, Kiwanis Club Fund for Heart Surgery.” While Mr. Green has unrestricted access to the funds, development shows that their use is restricted to the expenses of his surgery. Therefore, they are not a resource. 25.5. Verification Obtain verification that shows • The balance in the account as of the first moment of the month being evaluated • The name and address of the financial institution; • The account number(s); and • The exact account designation. Verification of account balances can be obtained from: • Bank statements and passbooks; • Internet printouts from the financial institution’s web site; and • ATM transaction receipts and/or deposit/withdrawal slips.
