02/17 DEPARTMENT FOR AGING AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES AUXILIARY GRANT PROGRAM NON-SSI CONDITIONAL BENEFITS CHAPTER F, PAGE 12  3 months for personal property. o One 3-month extension for disposition of personal property is permitted if good cause exists. Chapter F – 8.5. 6.1. Beginning Date The disposal/exclusion period begins on the date the worker “accepts” the individual's signed written agreement, the Agreement to Sell Non-Liquid Resources.  The date of acceptance is 5 days from the date the notice is mailed unless the individual shows that he/she did not receive it within the 5-day period.  If the written notice is handed to the individual, the date of acceptance is that date. 6.2. Ending Date The disposal/exclusion period ends at the earliest of the following:  The month the property is sold;  The month continued reasonable efforts to sell end, absent good cause;  The month the individual submits a written request for cancellation;  The month countable resources, without the conditional exclusion, fall within the applicable limit (e.g., the individual depletes liquid resources); or  The month in which the individual’s full period of conditional benefits ends (including any allowable extension);  The month the case is closed due to another reason. Example Mr. Jones' disposal/exclusion period for his second car begins on May 12 when Mr. Jones receives written notice that his agreement to sell is in effect. He sells the car on July 20 which ends the disposal/ exclusion period. He is eligible for conditional benefits for June and July, the 2 full months whose first moments fall within the disposal/exclusion period. If no sale had occurred, the basic period would have ended on August 11, and he could have received conditional benefits for the 3 months of June, July and August assuming no extension of the disposal/exclusion period for good cause was granted.
