DEPARTMENT FOR AGING AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES AUXILIARY GRANT PROGRAM NON-SSI CONDITIONAL BENEFITS 02/17 CHAPTER F, PAGE 21 o Will rely on the contract payments for living expenses.  In determining the value of the contract for continuing eligibility purposes, consider any amount which must be refunded to AG as an encumbrance on the contract.  If the contract is an excess non-liquid resource, the individual can, if otherwise qualified, enter into another conditional benefits agreement based on the contract subject to a 3-month disposal period for personal property. 11.3.2. Exchange of Excess Property The exchange or trade of property does not satisfy the terms of the Agreement to Sell Non-Liquid Resources.  If the newly acquired property is an excluded resource, the individual no longer has excess non-liquid resources so the conditional benefits period ends, but the conditional benefits refund is due.  If the newly acquired property is an excess non-liquid resource, the individual can still satisfy the agreement by selling the new property within what remains of the disposal/exclusion period. The new property cannot qualify for a new conditional benefits agreement. 12. Conditional Benefits Ends When the conditional benefits period ends, the excess non-liquid resources are disposed of or the individual becomes ineligible for any reason during the disposition period, the individual’s eligibility for regular AG must be determined and the conditional benefits overpayment calculated. 12.1. Regular AG Eligibility When determining regular AG resource eligibility:  The resource value of the monies received from the sale of the previously excluded non-liquid resources will be determined by deducting the amount of the CB overpayment from the sale proceeds.
