2-008.01 Verification of Resources

468 NAC 2-008.01

Before determining eligibility of an ADC/MA client, the worker must verify and document in the case record all resources if the total amount of countable resources indicated on the application is $1500 or more.  Client declaration is accepted when the total amount of countable resources indicated on the application is less than $1500.

Verification of resources consists of but is not limited to the following information:

1. A description of the type of resource to include account or policy number(s), legal descriptions (for property), etc.
2. The location of the resource (i.e., name and address of the bank, insurance company, etc.);
3. Current value of the resource, encumbrances against the resource, and the resulting equity value;
4. Description of current ownership; and
5. Source of verification and the date the verification is obtained.

If the client has a guardian, you may use the guardian's report to the court for verification. The guardian's report applies only to the period covered by the report. Use regular verification procedures if there is no guardian's report or the report does not coincide with the date of redetermination.

Note any additional information that may affect resource eligibility.
