The worker must disregard one motor vehicle regardless of its value as long as it is necessary for the client or a member of his/her household for employment or medical treatment.
If the unit has more than one vehicle, the worker must exclude the vehicle with the greatest equity. Any other motor vehicles are treated as nonliquid resources and the equity is counted in the resource limit. The client's verbal statement that the motor vehicle is used for employment or medical treatment is sufficient.
If the client owns a countable vehicle jointly with other persons, the worker refers to 468 NAC 2-008.03 ff. in determining how to divide the resulting value of the resource.
Note: If the client is living in his/her vehicle, the total equity value is exempted from resources.
