The length of the disqualification is based on the amount by which nonexempt transferred resources, when added to other nonexempt resources, exceed the allowable resource limit.

Example A household has $3,400 in a savings account. To become eligible for SNAP benefits, the household transferred $1,500 from the bank account to someone outside the SNAP household. The resource limit for this household is $3,000. The amount of the transferred resource used in determining the length of the disqualification period will be $400.

The following chart is used to determine the disqualification period:

Amount in Excess of the Period of Resource Limit Disqualification

$.01 to $249.99 1 month $250 to $999.99 3 months $1000 to $2999.99 6 months $3000 to $4999.99 9 months $5000 or over 12 months
